Ohio Supreme Court's Decision on Tracie Hunter's Law Practice Suspension
The Ohio Supreme Court has indefinitely suspended former Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter from practicing law due to her 2014 felony conviction for unlawful interest in a public contract. However, she can reapply for reinstatement after serving nine years under an interim suspension. This decision follows the recommendation of the Ohio Board of Professional Conduct, which found that Hunter violated five ethics rules related to her conviction. Hunter can immediately apply for reinstatement as professional conduct rules allow for reinstatement after two years of an indefinite suspension.
