In re Reinstatement of Crosby

Summary

The Minnesota Supreme Court reinstated Anthony D. Crosby to the practice of law after his five-year suspension for theft by swindle. The court placed him on supervised probation for two years, subject to conditions concerning compliance with professional-conduct rules, supervision, cooperation with the Director, and submission of a practice plan.

Holdings

1. Crosby established by clear and convincing evidence that he was morally fit to resume the practice of law, warranting reinstatement.
2. Crosby was reinstated to the practice of law subject to two years of probation and the conditions specified in the order, including cooperation with monitoring, compliance with the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct, appointment of a supervising attorney, and submission of a written practice plan.

Questions Presented
