White County lawyer John Edward Hutson was reinstated to the active practice of law with conditions on Oct. 20. He had been suspended on Jan. 14 for two years, with six months to be served on active suspension and the remainder on probation. Hutson filed a petition for reinstatement on Oct. 13. The Board of Professional Responsibility found it to be satisfactory. Reinstatement is conditioned on Hutson engaging a practice monitor during the first six months of the probationary period and meeting with the monitor monthly to review and assess his caseload, case management, timeliness of performing tasks, adequacy of communication with clients and accounting procedures.
