Board of Professional Conduct Files Disciplinary Case Reports and Recommendations
The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct has filed seven reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Two reports recommend that the Supreme Court impose disciplinary sanctions against Ohio attorneys based on the submission of consent-to-discipline agreements. One report recommends that a petition for reinstatement to the legal profession be denied.
Parties who have not consented to discipline have an opportunity to file objections to the Board’s reports and recommendations with the Supreme Court. If a party files objections, the Court will schedule the case for oral argument.
Additional information about each case, including the report and recommendation, may be obtained by clicking on the Court case number.
