Information About Attorney Discipline in the District

July 08, 2021

The D.C. Bar routinely receives inquiries from members of the public about disciplinary actions against members of the Bar.

Complaints against D.C. Bar members for ethical misconduct are investigated and prosecuted by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC), and the adjudication of disciplinary cases and the administration of the attorney discipline system are handled by the Board on Professional Responsibility (BPR). The D.C. Bar has no authority to investigate, prosecute, or discipline its members, nor does it have authority to speak on behalf of ODC or BPR.

Read “A Primer on Lawyer Discipline in the District” to learn more about the attorney discipline process in the District of Columbia, or visit the ODC website.
