Columbus Bar Ass'n v. Harris

437 N.E.2d 596, 1 Ohio St. 3d 33

Opinions

Per Curiam.

This court concurs with the board’s finding that respondent’s actions upon which his conviction was based constituted illegal conduct involving moral turpitude in violation of DR 1-102(A)(3). See Bar Assn. v. Chvosta (1980), 62 Ohio St. 2d 429 [16 O.O.3d 452]; 7 American Jurisprudence 2d 140-141, Attorneys at Law, Section 75: The board recommended that respondent be suspended from the practice of law for a one-year period commencing October 10, 1981, the date of his suspension pursuant to Gov. R. V(8). Upon a careful review of the entire record we believe respondent’s conduct warrants his suspension from the practice of law for a period of one year commencing on the date of this order.

Judgment accordingly.

Celebrezze, C.J., W. Brown, Sweeney, Locher, Holmes and C. Brown, JJ., concur.
