Levin, J.
(dissenting). The question presented *414concerns the construction of a court rule. If the question is seen by the majority as one of policy, the Court should tentatively decide the policy and propose an amendment clarifying the court rule and, as required by MCR 1.201, publish it for comment by the bench and bar before taking final action.
If, on the other hand, the question is seen as adjudicative, a judicial matter to be decided by opinion, the Court should grant leave to appeal to provide an opportunity for oral argument, intervention by persons who may be adversely affected by today’s decision, the presentation of briefs by amici curiae, and decision by opinion or opinions following such plenary consideration.
This is not a private dispute between the Attorney Grievance Commission and the Attorney Discipline Board. The profession, the bench and bar, should have an opportunity to be heard before final action is taken.
