Ohio Supreme Court

Disciplinary Counsel v. Celebrezze

January 13, 20262026 Ohio 45

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Board of Professional Conduct’s recommendation, imposing a two‑year suspension on former judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze, with the second year stayed on condition of no further misconduct. The Court held that the sanction was appropriate given the pattern of misconduct, conflict‑of‑interest violations, and false statements, and declined to suspend her from judicial office because she had already resigned.
