As we all know all too well, 2021 has been a very “different” year for everyone. It appears that this is true for the Disciplinary Board of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court  as well. According to the board’s 2019 annual report, between 2014 and 2019, the board averaged 177.5 impositions of discipline a year with a high of 211 in 2019 and a low of 160 in 2016 and 2018. During that same six-year span, the board averaged 33.8 disbarments a year with a high of 46 in 2014 and a low of 19 in 2016.
