On May 2, 2019, Illinois lawyer Charles A. Connor was held in minor indirect criminal contempt of court by the Circuit Court of Cook County for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Mr. Connor, a disbarred lawyer, was prosecuted by the ARDC for appearing in court on several occasions on two separate matters after his disbarment in 2011. In those matters he held himself out as a lawyer and being able to practice law. Mr. Connor had also been convicted of the unauthorized practice of law in 2014. Among other relief, the Circuit Court permanently enjoined Mr. Connor from engaging in any further acts of the unauthorized practice of law and sentenced him to one year of probation but with the first 90 days to be served in the Cook County Department of Corrections. The case is ARDC v. Charles A. Connor, Cook County No. 16 MC1-600091 (May 2, 2019)
