Alternative Discipline Process

The Benchers adopted a recommendation of the Mental Health Task Force calling for the creation of an alternative discipline process to address circumstances in which there is a connection between a health condition and a conduct issue that has resulted in a complaint investigation. 

The Alternative Discipline Process has launched and will be piloted over three years. At the conclusion of the pilot, the Benchers will make a final determination as to whether to establish it as a permanent regulatory program.

An interim report outlining the operation and success of the program, to date, was issued in March 2024.
