On Sept. 18, 2023, Jason S. Jankowski filed a petition for reinstatement of his Wisconsin law license. The Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) will investigate the eligibility of Jankowski for reinstatement of his license and has assigned OLR Matter No. 23MA1282 to its investigation.
Jankowski’s law license was revoked on May 8, 2018, for failure to abide by the terms of a conditional admission agreement.
Jankowski has the burden of demonstrating by clear, satisfactory, and convincing evidence that he has the moral character to practice law in Wisconsin; that his resumption of the practice of law will not be detrimental to the administration of justice or subversive of the public interest; that the representations made in his petition are substantiated; and that he has complied fully with the terms of the order of his revocation and with the requirements of SCR 22.26 regarding an attorney’s activities following suspension or revocation.
Interested parties may submit written comments regarding Jankowski and his petition to the OLR, Attn: Rita M. Knauss, PO Box 1648, Madison, WI 53701-1648. Alternatively, written comments may be submitted via email to rita.knauss@wicourts.gov. Comments must be submitted by Nov. 17, 2023. All comments will be forwarded to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. If a referee is assigned to conduct a hearing in this matter, all comments will also be forwarded to the referee. Individuals who submit comments may be contacted by the OLR for more information.
Upon completion of the investigation of Jankowski’s petition, the OLR will file a response with the Wisconsin Supreme Court. If the OLR does not oppose reinstatement, the OLR will enter into a stipulation for reinstatement with Jankowski for direct consideration by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. If the OLR opposes reinstatement, a referee will be appointed and a reinstatement hearing scheduled.
Notice of any hearing on Jankowski’s petition will be sent to those requesting such notice. A request for notice of hearing must include the address to which the notice is to be sent, and should be directed to the OLR at either the post office box or email address above.
Information regarding the status of Jankowski’s petition and any hearing can be obtained from the OLR and is available at https://www.wicourts.gov/services/public/lawyerreg/statuspetition.htm.
