§ 4705.02.
The supreme court, court of appeals, or court of common pleas may suspend or remove
an attorney at law from office or may give private or public reprimand to him as the
nature of the offense may warrant, for misconduct or unprofessional conduct in office
involving moral turpitude, or for conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude. Such suspension or removal shall operate as a suspension or removal in all the courts
