Discipline by the Court shall be disbarment, suspension of a respondent from the practice of law for a definite term or until the further order of the Court, public censure or private reprimand; the Court may, in its discretion, suspend or defer the imposition of discipline subject to the fulfillment of specified conditions by the respondent. This does not preclude the Professional Responsibility Commission from administering a private reprimand to a respondent as provided elsewhere. In fashioning the degree of discipline to be imposed for misconduct, the Professional Responsibility Tribunal and the Court shall consider prior misconduct where the facts are charged in the complaint and proved and the accused has been afforded an opportunity to rebut such charges.
