2.12—Contact Member Review

 

All dispositions, except for diversion recommendations and petitions for negotiated discipline, recommended by Bar Counsel following docketing and completion of investigation shall be reviewed by a Contact Member who may approve or disapprove the recommendation of Bar Counsel or suggest that it be modified. In approving, rejecting, or suggesting modification of the recommendation of Bar Counsel, the Contact Member shall give due deference to the expertise of Bar Counsel in disciplinary matters and to the responsibility of Bar Counsel to allocate the investigative and prosecutorial resources of Bar Counsel's office. The Contact Member may condition approval upon further investigation by Bar Counsel or modification of the disposition. The Contact Member is permitted to consult informally with Bar Counsel in order to ascertain Bar Counsel's reasons for the recommendation and to express more fully to Bar Counsel the reasons for the Contact Member's approval, rejection, or suggested modification.
