From the ethics portion of the lesson, speaking of the Indiana Disciplinary Commission: If you’re involved in disciplinary proceedings, innocent or not, it’ll suck to some extent or another. Don’t bury your head in the sand and hope it goes away. Be honest. No, really, be honest. You might get burned for whatever you’re being investigated for. You will get burned for lying to the commission.
It’s always amazing how many of the Supreme Court’s disciplinary orders are for non-payment of fees and non-compliance with the Commission’s procedures. I would think that being in the system, either deservedly or not, would be enough of a jolt to the system to make compliance nearly automatic.
