ATTORNEY’S READ If You Are TitleIXed. Attorney Suspended For Failure To Disclose.
An attorney who failed to disclose in his bar exam application complaints made against him has been suspended from the practice of law effective immediately. In In the Matter of: Iurie Cuciuc, 19S-DI-267, justices found Iurie Cuciuc violated Professional Conduct Rule when he failed to disclose a fact necessary to correct a misapprehension known by the person to have arisen in a bar admission matter.
In his bar exam application, Cuciuc answered “no” to questions asking, “Have you ever been a party in a civil court case or proceeding?” and “Have you ever had a complaint or other action initiated against you in any administrative forum?” The order says Cuciuc also acknowledged in his application his affirmative obligation to notify the Board of Law Examiners of any events between his application and bar admission that would cause any of the answers on his application to change.
After he submitted his application and took the bar exam, but before he was admitted to the Indiana bar, Cuciuc was the subject of a civil protective order proceeding filed in Marion Superior Court as well as a Title IX complaint filed with the McKinney School of Law. Cuciuc failed to supplement his bar application to include information about the protective order and Title IX proceedings, the order says.
If Cuciuc wishes to seek reinstatement, he will have to show clear and convincing evidence of his remorse, rehabilitation, and fitness to practice law. The costs of the proceedings are assessed against him.
