On Friday, November 1, 2024, the Supreme Court of Indiana published an order converting the suspension of attorney Alger V. Boswell III to an indefinite suspension. This decision follows Boswell’s failure to cooperate with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission regarding a grievance filed against him.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Alger V. Boswell III,” with case no. 23S-DI-341.
Originally suspended on June 19, 2024, Boswell was ordered to show cause why he should not face suspension due to noncooperation. Despite these orders, he did not respond to the Commission’s inquiries or the subsequent motions filed against him. The disciplinary action stemmed from a grievance, which raised serious concerns regarding Boswell’s professional conduct.
The Indiana Supreme Court’s latest ruling reflects that more than ninety days had elapsed since Boswell’s initial suspension, leading the Court to determine that a conversion to an indefinite suspension is appropriate. The order emphasizes the need for compliance with disciplinary processes and highlights the gravity of noncooperation in such matters.
As part of the indefinite suspension, Boswell is required to fulfill the continuing duties of a suspended attorney as stipulated under Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26). To be readmitted to the practice of law, he must address the underlying causes of his suspension and successfully petition the Court for reinstatement in accordance with Admission and Discipline Rule 23(18)(b).
According to martindale.com, Mr. Boswell graduated from the Valparaiso University School of Law in 2008. He acquired his law license in Indiana in the same year.
