Alaska Bar. R. 20
Prosecution of grievances involving material allegations which are substantially similar to the material allegations of criminal or civil litigation pending in a court will not be deferred unless the Board, in its discretion, and for good cause shown, authorizes deferment. ln the event deferment of a disciplinary investigation or proceeding is authorized by the Board, the Respondent will make all reasonable efforts to obtain a prompt trial and disposition of the pending litigation. In the event the litigation is unreasonably delayed, the Board may direct, upon motion, that the investigation and any subsequent disciplinary proceedings be conducted promptly.
The acquittal of the Respondent on criminal charges or a verdict or judgment in his or her favor in civil litigation involving substantially similar material allegations will not in and of itself justify abatement of a disciplinary investigation or proceeding predicated upon the same material allegations.
