In re McGovern, Mark Robert, 07CH0052
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Probation
Effective Date of Disposition 10/12/2012
End Date of Disposition 10/27/2014 Probationary condition(s) satisfied.
Definition of Disposition Probation reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct, but also a finding that the lawyer may continue to practice law pursuant to specified conditions under ARDC supervision without posing a risk to the public, profession, or courts. As a result, the lawyer may continue to practice law during the period of probation, subject to the conditions imposed by the Court. Probation may be ordered for a specified period of time or for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court. Probation may be ordered in conjunction with a suspension, which may be stayed in whole or in part. A stay defers that portion of the suspension as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension.
In re McGovern, Mark Robert, 07CH0052
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court. Suspension stayed in part.
Effective Date of Disposition 10/13/2009
End Date of Disposition 10/13/2012
Definition of Disposition The Supreme Court may order that, following a suspension, a further period of suspension be stayed, typically in connection with an order of probation. A stay defers the further suspension period as long as the lawyer complies with probationary conditions. If the lawyer successfully completes probation, the lawyer is not actually suspended during any portion of the stayed suspension. Under those circumstances, the stayed suspension does not affect the authority of the lawyer to practice law and the lawyer may practice law during the stayed suspension. If the Court determines that the lawyer has failed to comply with probationary conditions, the Court may vacate the stay and may require that the lawyer actually serve the full suspension.
Case Summary Mr. McGovern, who was licensed in 2002, was suspended for five years and until further order of the Court, with the last two years of the suspension stayed by a period of probation subject to conditions. He was convicted in federal court of assaulting an airline flight attendant and of violating the conditions of his supervised release. He was suspended on an interim basis on July 27, 2007.
In re McGovern, Mark Robert, 07CH0052
(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Interim suspension until further order of the Court
Effective Date of Disposition 07/27/2007
End Date of Disposition 09/22/2009
Definition of Disposition An interim suspension reflects the determination of the Supreme Court that a lawyer should be suspended from the practice of law. In imposing interim suspension, the Court orders that the lawyer be suspended until further order of the Court and may impose such conditions as the Court deems necessary. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the interim suspension. The Court may terminate the interim suspension upon imposition of final discipline or under other circumstances as the Supreme Court deems just.
