ORDER
On June 29, 1989, the Court ordered that Respondent, David Paul Reuwer, be
indefinitely suspended from the practice of law.  A Petition to Terminate the Indefinite
Suspension was filed on January 30, 1992.  Thereafter the Court referred the Petition to
the Attorney Grievance Commission to conduct an appropriate investigation and to
submit a report and recommendation as to whether Petitioner should be reinstated. 
An inquiry panel submitted its report dated June 22, 2001 and the Review Board
submitted its report on December 7, 2001 to Bar Counsel having considered the matter at
its meeting of September 12, 2001.  Each body recommended that the Petition for
Reinstatement be granted.
The Court has carefully considered the reports and recommendations of the
inquiry panel and the Review Board and has evaluated the essential factors to be
considered in any reinstatement petition which are: 1)  The nature and circumstances of
the Petitioner’s original misconduct; 2)  The Petitioner’s subsequent conduct and
reformation; 3)  The Petitioner’s present character; and 4) The Petitioner’s present
qualifications and competence to practice law.  Upon review of these factors the Court is
fully satisfied that the Petitioner has made a clear and convincing showing of
rehabilitation and of legal competence.
Now therefore, it is this 4th day of January, 2002,
ORDERED, by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, that the Petition for
Reinstatement be, and it is hereby granted, and the Petitioner, David Paul Reuwer is
reinstated as a member of the bar of Maryland subject to the following conditions:
1.
Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of
Maryland, the Petitioner shall satisfactorily complete the next course on professionalism
given by the Maryland State Bar Association.
2.
Petitioner shall pay to the Attorney Grievance Commission the costs of
these reinstatement proceedings amounting to $5,184.37.
