Illinois lawyer disciplinary orders for January term [January 30, 2014] CHICAGO — The Supreme Court of Illinois announced the filing of lawyer disciplinary orders on Jan. 17. Sanctions were imposed because the lawyers engaged in professional misconduct by violating state ethics law. |
|
The Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, an
Illinois Supreme Court agency, investigates alleged wrongdoing
by Illinois attorneys, holds hearings on specific charges and
recommends discipline where warranted. The Supreme Court is,
however, the only authority that can discipline lawyers for
misconduct. The court generally announces lawyer sanction orders
during each formal term of court. The court convenes in term
every January, March, May, September and November.
For a listing of the disciplinary orders during the January term, with the name of each disciplined lawyer, the community in which the lawyer last practiced and a brief summary of the misconduct that led to the sanction, click here (PDF). The complete announcement of orders may be reviewed at the Supreme Court of Illinois website: www.state.il.us/court. Unless otherwise noted, the mandate of discipline issued immediately. There are over 94,000 licensed attorneys in Illinois. Yearly fees are imposed on most Illinois lawyers to fund the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. No tax dollars are used to support the disciplinary system. The commission is composed of seven members, three of whom are non-lawyers. It is chaired by attorney Joan M. Eagle, and the administrator is Jerome Larkin.
