In Re the People of the State of Colorado v. Ravi Kanwal

Summary

The court held that Attorney Regulation Committee authorization to initiate public disciplinary proceedings does not require approval of each specific claim or rule violation later included in the complaint. Because the disputed claim arose from conduct addressed in the investigative report considered by the Committee, the claim was authorized and the dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction was erroneous. The court made the rule absolute and remanded with instructions to reinstate the claim.
