 | | At 9:20, Mary Robinson, the administrator of the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, began her opening statement, describing to a hearing board why Ellis ought not be able to practice law anymore. |
 | | In court papers, Robinson calls the IRS allegation "absolutely false." She also says Ellis has been inconsistent in his 5th Amendment assertions, states further that there is no ongoing criminal investigation anyway, and says that while a 5th Amendment assertion is allowed, an inference can be drawn from it. |
 | | In Ellis' hearing, the witnesses included a vice president of Bank Leumi, an operations manager from A.G. Edwards, a legal services officer from Harris Trust, a suitemate of Ellis', the brother of the deceased man who received the workman's compensation settlement in question, and a nephew of the woman whose probate estate was involved. |
