CHICAGO -- Convicted former Ald. Ed Burke has retired as an Illinois attorney, weeks after the Illinois Supreme Court was left unable to act on a bid to disbar him due to a lack of a quorum.Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission records on Monday showed Burke has retired, although it's unclear when that status changed. Burke was still listed as an active attorney on March 11.

Four of the current justices served on the court with Burke's wife, former Justice Anne Burke, before she retired at the end of 2022 – Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis, Justice P. Scott Neville Jr., Justice David K. Overstreet, and Justice Lisa Holder White.When Burke was convicted of a felony, the ARDC was required to file a petition with the Illinois Supreme Court to have his license is suspended, and will be required to file a similar petition after he is sentenced.
