What action is taken against a lawyer who is suspended?

When a lawyer is suspended, the primary consequence is that they are prohibited from practicing law for a specified period of time or until certain conditions are met. Suspension is a disciplinary action that indicates a serious violation of professional conduct standards, but it is not permanent removal from the bar. It typically allows for the possibility of reinstatement after the suspension period ends or if the lawyer fulfills certain requirements set by the disciplinary authority.

The other options do not accurately describe the implications of suspension. Permanent removal from the bar signifies disbarment, which is a more severe consequence than suspension. Public censure might be used for less severe violations but does not entail suspension. Mandatory mentoring might be a required condition for reinstatement but is not a universal action taken against all suspended lawyers. Hence, the prohibition from practicing law correctly reflects the immediate impact of a suspension on a lawyer's ability to engage in their profession.
