  What is NCLDB, Inc.?
The mission of NCLDB, Inc. is to serve as a national forum for the exchange of information and ideas about the administration, conduct and improvement of formal disciplinary and related proceedings for lawyers admitted to practice law in one or more jurisdictions of the United States.

As a result of the vision and perseverance of Gaines West, past chairman of the Board of Disciplinary Appeals appointed by the Supreme Court of Texas, a series of exploratory meetings were held in Texas, Illinois, and California in 2003 to determine whether a national organization should be established to help volunteers and staff of participating jurisdictions to improve the processes and procedures they use to conduct formal disciplinary proceedings involving lawyers. There was significant interest in the establishment of such an organization and NCLDB, Inc. was created. The first official meeting was in San Antonio, Texas in February 2004. Since then, the organization has met in Houston, Texas, Vancouver, Canada and Miami, Florida.

NCLDB, Inc. has as its primary purpose the sharing of information and knowledge about lawyer disciplinary proceedings between the volunteers and staff of participating member organizations. It holds an annual seminar and business meeting, has a listserv, and this Web site. The NCLDB, Inc. board meets by telephone conference call on a periodic basis to plan and manage its various activities, all with the overarching goal of improving the fairness and efficiency of lawyer disciplinary proceedings.
