11.11—Waiver of Right to Present Evidence
All relevant evidence shall be presented in the appropriate
evidentiary hearing before a Hearing Committee. Failure of Bar Counsel
or respondent to proffer certain evidence or type of evidence at the
evidentiary hearing (including the second part of the bifurcated
hearing on aggravation or mitigation of sanctions, for alleged disability
due to mental or physical infirmity or illness, or for alleged addiction
to drugs or alcohol, or for any other alleged reasons), shall operate
as a waiver of the right to present such evidence or type of evidence
unless otherwise ordered by the Board for good cause shown pursuant
to a motion filed on or before five (5) days prior to the date of
oral argument in the formal proceedings before the Board or filed
on or before the effective date of any waiver of such oral argument,
whichever date is later. (See Board Rules 13.4, 13.5 and 13.6).
