The bar record
We read Scott H. Rudin in the public register of the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. This is what it says.
and pending proceedings
What the ARDC will and won’t stand behind. It enumerates what that discipline line covers: all public discipline, court-ordered disability inactive status, reinstatement and restoration dispositions, and pending public proceedings — with no cut-off date. It then says investigations are confidential and that information about whether one exists is not available. So “None” means the register shows no public discipline and no pending public proceeding. It does not mean no complaint was ever made. We report the register, not an inference from it.
The insurance line is his, not the register’s. Illinois publishes a malpractice-insurance field, which most registers do not — but read its wording. It says the attorney reported at annual registration that he or his firm maintains cover. The ARDC is publishing his answer, not verifying it. Arizona and Washington publish an insurance field too; Illinois is the one that names whose claim it is.
What the record shows
The ARDC record names the firm “MDR LAW LLC”. The firm’s own site trades as Miroballi Durkin Rudin Lucas & Rosenblum, abbreviated MDR-Law. Both refer to the same LaSalle Street office; the register carries the short form.Verified
