WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25: Breakfast in Norfolk Lunch in South Sioux City Dennis Carlson named Counsel for Discipline Dennis G. Carlson, former deputy Lancaster County public defender, has been appointed to succeed Stan Gushard as the NSBA's Counsel for Discipline. The appointment was ef- fective February 1. Carlson, 32, is a native of Lincoln and a 1974 graduate of the Univer- sity of Nebraska College of Law. He has served as deputy public defender since July 1974 and is a member of the National College of Criminal Defense Lawyers. As Counsel for Discipline, Carlson will be responsible for in- vestigating complaints against Nebraska attorneys and, where ap- propriate, referring disciplinary matters to local Committees on In- quiry for further investigation. The Counsel for Discipline's office receives an average of 46 inquiries per month, of which about eight per month are classified as com- plaints requiring further investiga- tion. In his first newsletter column, on page 14, Dennis indicates that a number of changes will be forth- coming in the disciplinary office, in- cluding a greater emphasis on the education of attorneys and layper- sons concerning professional ethics. Changes in the Rules of the Supreme Court, with regard to discipline, will also be instituted in the very near future. Those changes will be fully outlined in the next issue of the newsletter.
