Attorney Discipline



Further Information Regarding Attorney Disciplinary Actions

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois considers and imposes attorney discipline pursuant to the following Local Rules:

LR83.25. Disciplinary Proceedings Generally

LR83.26. Discipline of Attorneys Disciplined by Other Courts

LR83.27. Discipline of Convicted Attorneys

LR83.28. Discipline of Attorneys for Misconduct LR83.29. Assignment of Counsel

LR83.30. Reinstatement

Relative to Local Rule 83.26, most U.S. District Court disciplinary investigations stem from notification of discipline imposed by The Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of The Supreme Court of Illinois (ARDC), which oversees investigation and discipline of attorneys who practice law in the State of Illinois. The Northern District of Illinois considers the imposition of reciprocal discipline upon attorneys admitted to its Bar.

In conformance with the Local Rules and District Court practices for docketing attorney discipline, the categories of disciplinary orders posted on this page are limited to those requiring an attorney’s Motion for Reinstatement after the period of discipline. The orders on this page concern attorneys who are:

  • Disbarred

  • Stricken from the roll of attorneys (similar to Disbarment)

  • Suspended for more than 90 days

Publicly Censured attorneys, whose orders are docketed and listed on this page, may continue practicing with caution.

Attorneys whose disciplinary orders are neither docketed nor listed on this site and need not submit a petition for reinstatement include those who are:

  • Suspended for less than 90 days

  • On Probation

  • Censured

  • Reprimanded

Specifics of discipline imposed upon a particular attorney by the District Court are strictly confidential and not available from Clerk’s Office Staff.   For further information regarding listings on this webpage, please see Lawyer Search on the ARDC website, iardc.org, then scroll down the attorney record to Public Record of Discipline and Pending Procedures.

Information regarding non-Illinois attorneys may be sought from the state bar where the attorney is licensed, for example, New York Bar Association.
