The Committee on Character and Fitness may recommend the revocation or suspension of a license to practice law in Arizona after notice and a hearing under Rule 33(b) and Rule 33.1(c). The procedures for conducting these hearings and to appeal a recommendation from these hearings are in Rule 36(f) and (h), respectively. The proposed change seeks to direct attorneys or their counsel from the committee rules to the procedural hearing rules

Filed: December 5, 2023.

Would amend Rules 33(b) and 34.1(c) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Arizona to alert lawyers that the procedures in Rules 36(f) and (h) apply to hearings before the Committee of Character and Fitness.

Comments must be submitted by no later than Wednesday, May 1, 2024, and any reply by a petitioner must be submitted no later than Monday, June 3, 2024.
