In any proceeding where mental incompetency is an issue, the attorney may be required to submit to a mental examination by one or more practicing psychiatrists selected by the board of commissioners or by the complaint tribunal after its designation. Reports of physicians regarding the mental condition of an attorney may be received as probative evidence, if the physicians are available for cross-examination.
