The Illinois Supreme Court has disciplined or accepted the resignation of several lawyers and two former judges in a series of orders Sept. 21.
Among those sanctioned was a lawyer who muttered an obscenity into a courtroom hot mic and a lawyer who lied about his capital contribution to his law firm.
Law360 and the Legal Profession Blog have coverage.
The dispositions include:
• Chicago, Illinois, lawyer James Thomas Rollins, accused of faking documents to make it appear that he had paid much of his firm capital contribution by making vendor payments out of his pocket. He later paid his full $100,000 capital contribution. He is suspended for five months.
