2500 Ohio lawyers suspended

2500 Ohio lawyers were suspended last week for failing to pay their required $300 state registration fee, according to articles in this morning’s Enquirer. There is also an article on Law.com this morning.

This is the first time the Ohio Supreme Court has suspended as many as it did at the same time.

While 21 Ohio counties, including Adams, Brown, & Highland didn’t have any, Cuyahoga had the most representatives on the list with 412. Of the total number, 123 are from Hamilton County, 7 from Clermont, and 16 each from Butler and Warren Counties. A complete list is attached to the Court’s order, issued Dec. 2, 2005

Suspended attorneys can be reinstated upon application and payment of the registration fee, along with a $200- fine.
