The recommendation may incorporate such terms, conditions and restrictions and be for such duration as the board determines appropriate. The Supreme Court may accept, reject, or modify the recommendation.
A conditional admission shall be confidential except that the Board of Bar Examiners shall advise the secretary-treasurer of the State Bar and the secretary of the State Bar's Disciplinary Board of such conditional admission, and except as provided in §§16-16-15 and 16-19-99.
