John William Vogel's application for reinstatement to the Ohio Bar was reviewed after his suspension for two years, which included a twelve-month stay contingent upon completing a probationary period. The Ohio Supreme Court determined that Vogel had substantially complied with the terms of his suspension and the relevant bar rules. Consequently, he was reinstated to practice law in Ohio, with a twelve-month monitored probation. The court mandated that within thirty days, the Columbus Bar Association must submit the name of Vogel's monitor as required by the governing bar rules. At the conclusion of the probation, the Bar Association is to file a compliance report regarding Vogel's adherence to the probation terms. Vogel may apply for termination of probation after fulfilling several conditions, including submitting a termination application, complying with all court orders and bar rules, and receiving the court's approval. Certified copies of this order are to be issued, and Vogel is responsible for the publication costs associated with the reinstatement notice. Concurrence in the decision was noted from all justices involved. For reference, an earlier related case is cited.
