52 Pick Up

The Arkansas Supreme Court ordered the disbarment of an attorney who had been the subject of a wide array of charges alleging ethics violations. The court found that the attorney had racked up 75 ethical violations and that 52 were of a serious nature. The court rejected a proposed three year suspension, ageeing with disciplinary counsel that disbarment was the appropriate sanction. The court noted that the attorney had previously been the subject of 14 public sanctions– one caution, nine reprimands and four suspensions of varying length. (Mike Frisch)
