The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct has filed five disciplinary case reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio. One report recommends a license suspension and corresponding suspension from judicial office for a sitting judge, and two of the reports recommend discipline for Ohio attorneys.  Two additional reports recommend reinstatement to the practice of law for attorneys who are indefinitely suspended.

Parties will have an opportunity to file objections to the Board’s reports and recommendations with the Supreme Court.  If a party files objections, the Supreme Court will schedule the case for oral argument. Oral arguments are not conducted in reinstatement cases.

Additional information about each case, including the report and recommendation, may be obtained by clicking on the Supreme Court case number.
