Rule 10
In considering allegations that a Clerk is unable adequately to perform as a Clerk because of mental or physical disability, the Committee shall, insofar as applicable and except as provided below, follow procedures established by these Rules.
A.
If in a matter relating to an allegation of mental or physical disability the Clerk is not represented by counsel, the Committee may appoint an attorney to represent the Clerk at public expense.
B.
If a complaint or statement of allegations involves the mental or physical health of a Clerk, and the Clerk denies the alleged disability, the Committee may upon good cause shown require the examination of the Clerk by qualified medical experts selected by the Committee.
C.
If a complaint or statement of allegations involves the mental or physical health of a Clerk, the Committee shall investigate whether a Clerk's mental or physical condition may, even with a reasonable accommodation, adversely affect the Clerk's ability to serve as Clerk.
