file exceptions may reserve the right to address the Supreme Court with
respect to disposition of the case. Rule 623.
If exceptions are taken, a briefing schedule is set, and the rules of
appellate procedure apply. After briefs are filed, argument is scheduled
before the Supreme Court at which time respondent appears in person
and, at respondent’s discretion, by counsel. If exceptions are not taken, the
panel’s findings of fact and conclusions of law are conclusive and may not
later be challenged by respondent. The matter is set for hearing before the
Supreme Court, at which time the respondent appears in person and may
be accompanied by counsel, but only for the limited purpose of making
a statement with respect to the discipline to be imposed. In either case,
the Supreme Court may adopt, amend, or reject the recommendations of
the panel. Rule 623.
