http://dmcantor.com On December 19th 2011 the Closing Arguments in the Disciplinary Hearing for Andrew Thomas, Lisa Aubuchon, and Rachel Alexander were submitted along with Independent Bar Counsel's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. As our regular followers know David has been following this story closely as it has proceeded starting Sept 12th of this year.
As David points out in the video the Arizona Supreme Court has posted two PDF's on its website for the Closing Arguments and the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Here is the link to the page:

Respondents must then file their response by Friday, Jan. 16, 2012 
Independent Bar Counsel will then file a reply to that response by Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012. 

By Supreme Court Rule, the panel then has 30 days to file their findings. Judge O'Neil announced that he will reconvene the hearing panel when the order is complete. A 24 hour notice will be given to all parties, media and the public about the hearing. The panel will announce their findings at this hearing and the full written opinion will be released to the public.
