From the Colorado Supreme Court webpage, Assistant Regulation Counsel Trial Division:

“When the Intake Division determines that an attorney’s misconduct matter is more serious or requires

additional investigation, Assistant Regulation Counsel attorneys in the Trial Division conduct further
investigation and, if necessary, prosecution. At the end of an investigation, attorneys in the Trial Division
can dismiss a case; enter into a diversion agreement; enter into a conditional admission of misconduct, in
which the respondent attorney agrees to the imposition of certain discipline; or file a report recommending

formal proceedings, after which a formal complaint might be filed. Attorneys in the Trial Division also
handle disciplinary trials and appeals, as well as attorney admissions, unauthorized practice of law, and client

protection fund matters. Assistant Regulation Counsel also educate attorneys by teaching the office’s Ethics
School and Professionalism School and other continuing legal education courses.”
