In re Draper, Ronald Gregory, 07CH0046
Disposition Suspension for a specified period
Effective Date of Disposition 12/09/2008
End Date of Disposition 01/08/2009
Definition of Disposition Suspension for a specified period reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court's order. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. Draper, who was licensed in 1976, was suspended for thirty days. He neglected a criminal appeal from the denial of a client’s petition for post-conviction relief. The suspension is effective on December 9, 2008.

(One of multiple dispositions on this case)
Disposition Probation
Effective Date of Disposition 10/04/1990
End Date of Disposition 05/28/1996 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 Draper, Ronald Gregory, 87CH0348
(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 whole.
Effective Date of Disposition 10/04/1990
End Date of Disposition 10/04/1990
Definition of Disposition The Supreme Court may order that a suspension be stayed in whole, typically in connection with an order of probation. A stay defers 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. 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.
