Laurel R. Kupka's law license, previously suspended for two years starting February 28, 2020, is reinstated effective November 8, 2021. After a nine-month suspension, Kupka was eligible to petition for early reinstatement, which she did on January 22, 2021. The Disciplinary Administrator confirmed her eligibility and compliance with necessary rules and fees. The court, agreeing with the Administrator's assessment, ordered a reinstatement hearing.

On September 29, 2021, a hearing panel recommended reinstatement with a two-year probation period under specific conditions. The court accepted this recommendation and granted Kupka's petition for reinstatement, staying the remainder of her suspension. 

Kupka's probation will last for two years, contingent on her compliance with annual continuing legal education and payment of registration fees. Upon proof of these conditions, she will be listed as an active attorney in Kansas. The order will be published in the official Kansas Reports, and costs will be assessed to Kupka.
