Description
The reason for lawyer discipline proceedings such as these is the protection of the public and not punishment of the offending lawyer. The respondent*fn1 is a lawyer who stole from her law firm, but who nevertheless does not deserve to be disbarred because of certain extraordinary and tragic factors in mitigation, including the sudden emergence of a mental disorder that caused the misconduct. A hearing panel of the Supreme Court Grievance Committee approved the findings and recommendation of a hearing board that the respondent be suspended for one year from the date of the hearing. We accept the hearing panel's recommendation that the respondent be suspended for one year, but the effective date of the suspension is the date of this opinion, rather than the date of the hearing.
