Supreme Court of Colorado

Miranda v. People

April 17, 2012276 P.3d 122

Summary

The Hearing Board granted Michael T. Miranda’s petition for immediate reinstatement to the Colorado bar after finding by clear and convincing evidence that he was rehabilitated, fit to practice law, and compliant with disciplinary orders. The Board held that his ongoing parole did not categorically bar reinstatement and that public protection could be achieved through tailored conditions. Reinstatement was conditioned on sobriety, counseling, monitoring, disclosure of parole status, mentoring, and community education.
