Practice question
A lawyer admits that a disciplinary case examines his fitness but argues the Court must award every unrelated commercial debt alleged in it because the complainant calls discipline a civil collection action. Which is best?
- Professional discipline is not automatically a substitute for an ordinary action on an unrelated debt
- All alleged debts become automatically adjudicated by the disciplinary complaint
- No return of client-related funds can ever be ordered under the CPRA
- Every private grievance necessarily proves unfitness
- An ordinary debt allegation automatically requires disbarment
