The Secretary of the Board shall promptly notify the court reporter respondent and the complainant of the completion and transmittal of the record.

An answer brief may be filed within ten (10) days after the filing of brief-in-chief. A reply brief may be filed within five (5) days after filing of the answer brief.

c) After filing of briefs, if any, the decision and recommendations of the Board shall stand submitted to the Supreme Court which may, in its sole discretion, adopt or reject such recommendations in whole or in part, remand with instructions, or make such other disposition as the Supreme Court may deem proper, with or without oral argument or formal written opinion. Either party aggrieved by the decision of the Supreme Court may make application for rehearing as provided by the Rules of the Supreme Court.
