§ 4705.02.
The supreme court, court of appeals, or court of common pleas may suspend or remove
an attorney at law from office or may give private or public reprimand to him as the
nature of the offense may warrant, for misconduct or unprofessional conduct in office
involving moral turpitude, or for conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude. Such suspension or removal shall operate as a suspension or removal in all the courts
of the state. The clerk of court upon such suspension or removal shall send a copy thereof to
the supreme court, the court of appeals, and to the federal court of the district
in which said attorney resided at the time of trial for such action as is warranted. Judges of such state courts are required to cause proceedings to be instituted against
an attorney, when it comes to the knowledge of any judge or when brought to his knowledge
by the bar association of the county in which such attorney practices that he may
be guilty of any of the causes for suspension, removal, or reprimand.
