Under § 16-16-7.1 the filing of an application requesting admission by a nonresident attorney shall constitute his or her submission to the jurisdiction of the Disciplinary Board of the State Bar.
If after admission to practice in this state, the applicant engages in professional misconduct as that term is defined by the rules governing the State Bar of South Dakota, the Supreme Court may revoke his or her admission to practice. In addition, the matter may be referred to the Disciplinary Board of the State Bar or other proper authority as is deemed necessary and desirable. The county in which the legal aid bureau or public defender agency is located shall be considered the county of the applicant's residence for the purpose of determining venue in any disciplinary action taken against him or her.
