Illinois SC Recommends 30-Day Suspension for Former Education Department Attorney over CLE Noncompliance

The Supreme Court of Illinois’s Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission has recommended a 30-day suspension for former U.S. Department of Education attorney Lauren Elizabeth Moynihan. The suspension is due to her failure to register and complete the required continuing legal education (CLE) credits over a two-year period. Moynihan, who served in the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights from 2006 to 2023, continued her professional duties despite her removal from the Illinois attorney roll in May 2021, as indicated in the commission’s petition.
