Failure To Supplement Bar Admission Application Draws Reprimand

An Illinois lawyer has been reprimanded for failing to advise update her application for admission with disclosure of an arrest.

The attorney answered “yes” to the following question in her February 2012 application

Do you understand that after your Character and Fitness Registration Application is filed, you will have a continuous reporting obligation and must notify the Board of Admissions of any changes or additions to the information provided in your application? This includes, but is not limited to, address changes, employment changes, criminal charges, disciplinary actions (educational, employment or other), and traffic violations, including any parking tickets that are not paid upon receipt

The attorney was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in November 2012 and pleaded guilty in June 2013. 

She self-reported the conviction to the Administrator. (Mike Frisch)
