Bill overview
Senate Bill 1039 changes how costs are handled in attorney discipline investigations in Arizona. If an attorney successfully defends against a disciplinary charge, they can recover their attorney fees, lost earnings, and court costs from the State Bar of Arizona. The bill also allows attorneys to file claims for damage to their reputation if a disciplinary matter isn't dismissed before reaching a final decision. This aims to provide greater financial support to attorneys facing disciplinary actions.
