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)
