Practice question
A lawyer argues that a confidential and summary disciplinary process can never produce a lawful finding because it is not an ordinary public civil trial. He was given the prescribed notice and meaningful opportunity to defend. Which is best?
- Every discipline case must be converted into an ordinary damages suit
- Those stated characteristics are compatible with the CPRA’s disciplinary inquiry and its defense safeguards
- Summary character permits judgment without any proof
- Confidentiality automatically makes every result void
- The complainant alone decides whether the process is lawful
