Reinstatement Recommendation Would Require Disbarred Attorney To Pass Bar Exam

A Louisiana Hearing Committee has recommended the reinstatement of an attorney who was disbarred in 1995.

The petitioner was convicted on federal charges that arose as a result of his cocaine addiction. He has been drug free for over 20 years.

One potential stumbling block: the committee proposes that he be required to take and pass the bar examination. (Mike Frisch)
