Farrant's conduct more closely resembles that outlined in Cummings rather than the actions in Johnston. This conduct warrants a one-year suspension followed by a probationary period of one year accompanied by weekly attendance at AA meetings and monthly sessions with a professional counselor. The nondelegable, constitutional responsibility to regulate both the practice and the ethics, licensure, and discipline of the practi tioners of the law is solely vested in this Court. A one year suspension is more in line with similar cases than the trial panel's six month recommendation. The suspension is to be followed by a probationary period of one year accompanied by weekly attendance at AA meetings and monthly sessions with a professional counselor.
Prompt payment is a precondition to reinstatement.
