Lawyer regulation - status of lawyer disciplinary matters

Public reprimands by consent

Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 22.09 , the Director of the Office of Lawyer Regulation, may agree with an attorney to the imposition of private or public reprimand without the filing of a complaint seeking discipline of the lawyer for professional misconduct . The private or public reprimand is reviewed by and issued by a court-appointed referee.  The public reprimand is imposed when public notice of the violation of the Supreme Court Rules by a lawyer is required to protect the public, the court system, or the legal profession, but does not require a license suspension.
