IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within ninety days of the date of this court’s judgment, respondent shall complete a continuing legal education course in the area of law office management. This course shall be in addition to respondent’s regular mandatory continuing legal education requirements.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all costs and expenses in the matter are assessed against respondent in accordance with Supreme Court Rule XIX, § 10.1, with legal interest to commence thirty days from the date of finality of this court’s judgment until paid.
