Ohio Education On Linkage Between Addiction And Bar Discipline

Disciplinary prosecutors have long been aware of the correlation between alcohol and drug issues and problems with bar discipline.

Ohio has for some time required education about this issue for both applicants for admission and as part of an admitted attorney’s continuing legal education. 

A recent video posted on the Supreme Court’s web page tells the story of a judge whose drinking led to such problems and may be useful as an educational tool. (Mike Frisch)
