IN THE MATTER OF MUHAMMAD ABDUL-WARIT ABDUR-RAHIM. PER CURIAM The Court having reviewed the motion to lift interim suspension submitted by the Office of the General Counsel of the State Bar of Georgia, and it appearing that Muhammad Abdul- Warit Abdur-Rahim (State Bar No. 560822) has satisfied the conditions for reinstatement as specified by this Court, see In the Matter of Abdur-Rahim, 315 Ga. 586 (2023), it is hereby ordered that Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim be reinstated to practice law in the State of Georgia. Reinstated. All the Justices concur. ## Summaries written by Georgia Commons The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the opinion above and is not part of the court's opinion. Quote the opinion, not the summary. The Supreme Court of Georgia reinstated attorney Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim to practice law after finding he had met the conditions the court had set for his return following an earlier interim suspension. ### Plain-language summary 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. ### Holding, as summarized 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. ### Disposition Reinstated. All the Justices concur. ### Why it matters 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. > The summarized reasoning, checked quotes, suggested questions, and the CourtListener opinion records (925 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/opinions/S20Y0209.md?full=1
