              TITLE 17--COMMODITY AND SECURITIES EXCHANGES
 
             CHAPTER II--SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
 
PART 205_STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT FOR ATTORNEYS APPEARING AND 
 
Sec. 205.6  Sanctions and discipline.

    (a) A violation of this part by any attorney appearing and 
practicing before the Commission in the representation of an issuer 
shall subject such attorney to the civil penalties and remedies for a 
violation of the federal securities laws available to the Commission in 
an action brought by the Commission thereunder.
    (b) An attorney appearing and practicing before the Commission who 
violates any provision of this part is subject to the disciplinary 
authority of the Commission, regardless of whether the attorney may also 
be subject to discipline for the same conduct in a jurisdiction where 
the attorney is admitted or practices. An administrative disciplinary 
proceeding initiated by the Commission for violation of this part may 
result in an attorney being censured, or being temporarily or 
permanently denied the privilege of appearing or practicing before the 
Commission.
    (c) An attorney who complies in good faith with the provisions of 
this part shall not be subject to discipline or otherwise liable under 
inconsistent standards imposed by any state or other United States 
jurisdiction where the attorney is admitted or practices.
    (d) An attorney practicing outside the United States shall not be 
required to comply with the requirements of this part to the extent that 
such compliance is prohibited by applicable foreign law.
