Bajaj Supension imposed

A matter that received extensive media coverage has been concluded by the Illinois Supreme Court

M.R.26518 – In re: Reema Nicki Bajaj.    (March 14, 2014)

Disciplinary Commission.

The petition by the Administrator of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission to impose discipline on consent pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 762(b) is allowed, and respondent Reema Nicki Bajaj is suspended from the practice of law for three (3) years and until further order of the Court.

Order entered by the Court.

My own view is that this sanction is quite harsh, although it was consented-to by the attorney.
