Ok I just looked this up from here:

Censure falls within the realms of the varying levels of sanction. Some individuals refer to censure as a “slap on the wrist” for lawyers. However, it actually falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to the severity of sanctions.

A censure is more serious than a reprimand. However, it is not as serious as a suspension. When a lawyer is censured, they are reprimanded, either publicly or privately, for their actions. However, they are not prohibited from practicing law as they would otherwise be following a suspension.

Like many other forms of disciplinary action, a censure remains on your public record for the remainder of your professional career. In many situations, this can prevent the lawyer from moving forward in their field and they may no longer want to practice law.
