The Illinois Supreme Court suspended the law license of former Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson on Friday, about a month after he was convicted of cheating on his income taxes and lying to federal regulators about money he owed to a failed Bridgeport bank.
The three Supreme Court justices from Chicago — Anne M. Burke, P. Scott Neville Jr., and Mary Jane Theis — abstained from disciplining Thompson, the grandson of former Mayor Richard J. Daley and the nephew of former Mayor Richard M. Daley.
