I was just convicted of retail theft, a summary offense. I was given a fine. Do I have any reporting requirements to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel?
The question is a good one because the rules of reporting criminal convictions were changed in 2012. The old rule, which was found in Pennsylvania Rule of Disciplinary Enforcement 214, only required the reporting of a conviction by a lawyer if the maximum sentence of the crime was more than one year and only required reporting at the time of sentencing.
