Board of Professional Conduct Files Disciplinary Case Reports and Recommendations
The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct has filed five case reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio. Four reports recommend the imposition of disciplinary sanctions against Ohio attorneys, and one report recommends the reinstatement of a previously suspended attorney.
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. Objections are not permitted in consent-to-discipline matters.
