Ind. Courts - What does it mean to be suspended without automatic reinstatement?
In a number of disciplinary opinions, the Supreme Court uses the phrase "This Court suspends Petitioner for (specific period) without automatic reinstatement."
What does "without automatic reinstatement" mean?
This opinion issued Jan. 10, 2011, headed "Published order granting conditional reinstatement" to Marc C. Laterzo, lists the nine requirements, including, at #9, taking the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination and passing with a score of 80 or above. In addition, the reinstatement is conditional, involving a period of probation.
In short, the phrase "without automatic reinstatement" is very significant.
