The ARDC Intermediary Program is a response to the experience of the ARDC that very often lawyers who do not respond to ARDC suffer from underlying substance abuse and/or mental health or cognitive decline issues attributed to aging. The goal for attorneys facing cognitive impairment issues is typically to facilitate transfering the attorney to permanent retirement status or another inactive status, rather than facing disciplinary action.
