If a license is suspended, to whom must notice be given within 30 days?

If a license to practice law is suspended, the court where the attorney is admitted must be notified within 30 days. The court is the authority that controls who may appear and represent parties in its proceedings, so timely notice ensures the court can take appropriate steps to protect clients and the integrity of ongoing cases—such as staying or substituting counsel and preventing unauthorized practice. While the board or state bar handles disciplinary actions, their role is separate from updating the court’s records and managing appearances in court. The supervising attorney and the client’s attorney may coordinate, but the official notice goes to the court so it can adjust any active matters accordingly.
