In Re Lammers

Ohio Supreme Court
581 N.E.2d 1359 (1991)

Facts

Maximillian Paul Lammers Jr. (plaintiff) attended law school from 1981 through 1984. Although he needed a two-credit legal-writing seminar to graduate, he obtained an extension and was allowed to participate in his school’s commencement. Despite knowing that he had not received his law degree and that having a law degree was required to sit for the Ohio Bar Examination, Lammers applied to take the July 1984 Ohio Bar Examination. Upon passage, Lammers was admitted to practice law in Ohio. In August 1990, after his former school reported to the Ohio Supreme Court that Lammers had been practicing law without a law degree, his case was referred to the supreme court’s Board of Commissioners on Character and Fitness. Following an investigation of his case, the Ohio Supreme Court issued an order on October 8, 1991, immediately revoking Lammers’s license and requiring that he complete his law degree and retake the Ohio Bar Examination in order to have his license reinstated. Lammers applied to the Ohio Supreme Court for relief, requesting that his license revocation be stayed until he had a chance to finish his degree.
