Turner, 217 Kan. 574 , 538 P.2d 966 (1975), 87 A.L.R.3d 337 , the court summarized prior Kansas and federal precedent on the question, including Buffalo, and held in accordance with established precedent that the State need not set forth in its complaint the specific disciplinary rules allegedly violated (State v. Nelson, 206 Kan. 154 , 476 P.2d 240 [1970]), nor is it required to plead specific allegations of misconduct (State v. Alvey, 215 Kan. 460 , 524 P.2d 747 [1974]). What is required was simply stated therein: ‘ ‘We must conclude that where the facts in connection with the charge are clearly set out in the complaint a respondent is put on notice as to what ethical violations may arise therefrom.. .. ‘ “It is not incumbent on the board to notify the respondent of charges of specific acts of misconduct as long as proper notice is given of the basic factual situation out of which the charges might result.” ’ State v. Turner, 217 Kan. at 579-80.” 235 Kan. at 459 .”
