Sept 21 (Reuters) - Illinois' highest court on Thursday released orders disciplining 26 lawyers, including the former CEO of the state's largest electric utility, the utility's former influential lobbyist and the founder of a Chicago law firm. The Illinois Supreme Court said it had suspended the law licenses of Anne Pramaggiore and Mike McClain on an interim basis following their convictions in May on federal charges of bribery, bribery conspiracy and willful falsification of records. Prosecutors in Chicago alleged Pramaggiore, the former CEO of Commonwealth Edison, and McClain, a lobbyist for the utility, conspired with others to influence former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan in an effort to pass certain legislation.
