Fairfield County Muni Court Judge Disbarred

By Cleveland Law Library

ADVERTISEMENTS

If you have not already heard the news, the Ohio Supreme Court just permanently disbarred a former Fairfield County Municipal Court Judge named Don S. McAuliffe for multiple violations of both the Ohio Code of Professional Responsibility and the Code of Judicial Conduct. (McAuliffe's misconduct occurred before the effective date of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct) The Supreme Court's decision was based on the fact that McAuliffe was convicted of burning down a house he owned for the insurance money. This conduct caused the Court to conclude that McAuliffe violated rules prohibiting moral turpitude, dishonesty, fraud, deceit, misrepresentation. The Court also held that his actions were prejudicial to the administration of justice and contrary to the standards to which attorneys and judges are held. Click here to read the Court's opinion.
