I'm getting the impression it's not easy to disbar somebody and takes *forever*.
Which is probably a good thing as you're taking away somebody's livelihood, but I agree it seems like it's taken too long in this rather obviously deserving case.
The justice system takes away people's livelihoods all the time with unconscionable rapidity so i really don't have a lot of sympathy for that argument
That means there should be more protections for everyone, not less protections for lawyers.
Either way, Giuliani deserves to be disbarred everywhere and have to find some other job. And hopefully not politics again.
Ok well when we have those I'll say its ok for us to be loosey goosey as a society with lawyers but until then I think the only reasonable way to counterbalance the extreme harm lawyers can do to people is to make them accountable to an extremely rigid code of professional ethics.
Also, the VAST majority of lawyers aren't trial lawyers or people like Giuliani. They spend their lives writing nasty letters to insurance companies who denied claims for no good reason, or checking contracts, or...
