Immunity & Confidentiality
Confidentiality
When you call KALAP, you can be sure that
complete confidentiality
will be maintained. The Kansas Supreme Court has established KALAP as an
approved impaired lawyers program pursuant to Rule 206 of the Rules of The
Supreme Court of Kansas.
By virtue of the said rule, all communications
with KALAP are attorney/client privileged and members of KALAP are relieved
of their duty to report ethical violations discovered as a result of their
KALAP work. This means that any misconduct or ethical violation discovered
or revealed to a member of KALAP will not be reported to any
disciplinary board.
Civil Immunity and Reporting Professional Misconduct
Supreme Court Rule 206(h) grants absolute immunity from any civil cause of action to the Volunteers, employees, agents, and Commission members of the Kansas Lawyers Assistance Program, including any person who reports information to them.
