Lawyers Fund: Disbar All Lawyers Who Steal
“Lawyers who steal should be disbarred,” [Timothy] O’Sullivan said Tuesday, while testifying before the Commission on Statewide Attorney Discipline at the Court of Appeals. The commission was put together by Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman to review the state’s disciplinary system for lawyers and to examine if improvements are needed….The commission, which also will hold hearings in New York City and Buffalo, included Peter James Johnson Jr., who chairs the committee on character and fitness for the Manhattan-based First Department; Devika Kewalramani, who chairs the New York City Bar Association‘s committee on professional discipline; prominent Manhattan attorney Mark Zauderer; Cornell Law School professor W. Bradley Wendel; Robert Guido, executive director for attorney matters for the Brooklyn-based Second Department and Monica Duffy, chief attorney for the Committee of Professional Standards within the 3rd Department.
