1995, October, Pg. 2385. Disciplinary Case Summaries
The forms of discipline, both public and private, are set forth in C.R.C.P. Rule 241.7. Disbarment is the revocation of a lawyer's license. Suspension is the temporary interruption of a lawyer's privilege to practice. Public censure is a verbal reproach issued by the Colorado Supreme Court in open session and then published with the Court's other Opinions.

Admonition is a letter of disapproval issued by the Grievance Committee and usually is mailed to the lawyer. A lawyer who receives a letter of admonition may demand that it be vacated and that a complaint be filed against him by Disciplinary Counsel.
