Reprimand Plus Admonition Equals Censure

The New Jersey Disciplinary Review Board considered two matters involving an attorney and concluded that one merited a reprimand and the other an admonition.

The solution?

The board imposed a censure, noting that the attorney’s alcohol and marital problems (his divorce attorney said it was the worst he ever handled) had affected his behavior. The attorney must provide proof of present fitness to practice, practice under a proctor’s supervision until further order and continue with treatment for his addiction. (Mike Frisch)
