In the Matter of Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim

Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim, a Georgia lawyer, had been placed under an interim suspension from practicing law, with the Supreme Court of Georgia laying out specific conditions he would need to satisfy before he could return to practice, as described in an earlier 2023 ruling in his case. The State Bar of Georgia's Office of the General Counsel later asked the court to lift that suspension, reporting that Abdur-Rahim had met those conditions. The court reviewed the motion and agreed, ordering that he be reinstated to practice law in Georgia.

The court held that Abdur-Rahim had satisfied the specific conditions for reinstatement that it had previously set, and it therefore ordered him reinstated to practice law in the State of Georgia.

The order restores a suspended attorney's ability to practice law in Georgia, affecting his clients, his livelihood, and the public's confidence that lawyers readmitted to practice have actually met the court's requirements for reinstatement.

Reinstated

1. The Office of the General Counsel of the State Bar of Georgia, which handles bar discipline matters, filed a motion asking the court to lift Abdur-Rahim's interim suspension from practicing law.
2. The court reviewed the motion and found that Abdur-Rahim had met the specific conditions for reinstatement that it had set out in its earlier 2023 decision in his case.
3. Because those conditions were satisfied, the court concluded reinstatement was warranted and ordered him restored to the practice of law in Georgia.
