The law license of former Sangamon County Associate Judge Robert Hall will be suspended for six months beginning Feb. 7. The Illinois Supreme Court imposed the discipline on Hall, 61, during its January term.
A state Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission investigation found that Hall dismissed a traffic ticket received by the daughter of a fellow associate judge in 2010 and falsely said that a prosecutor had made a motion to dismiss the ticket.
The ARDC had recommended that Hall’s license be suspended for two years, but a hearing board last year trimmed the recommendation to six months.
Hall has not practiced law since he retired as a judge in July 2010, less than a month after the traffic-ticket incident.
