Practice question
A lawyer receives an immediately executory Supreme Court suspension resolution and announces that a pending reconsideration request alone authorizes continued practice. No Court order stays or modifies the suspension. Is that position consistent with CPRA section 43?
- Yes, every reconsideration request automatically suspends execution
- No, the request alone does not neutralize the immediately executory disposition
- Yes, if a client requests continued representation
- Yes, if the lawyer has already paid IBP dues
- No, because reconsideration is never available in any disciplinary case
