Clinton Disbarred From Supreme Court

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court ordered former President
Clinton disbarred from practicing law before the high court
on Monday
and gave him 40 days to contest the order.
The court did not explain its reasons, but Supreme Court
disbarment often follows disbarment in lower courts.
In April, Clinton's Arkansas law license was suspended for
five years and
he paid a $25,000 fine. The original disbarment lawsuit was
brought by a
committee of the Arkansas Supreme Court.
There are no fines associated with the Supreme Court
action. Most
lawyers who are admitted to the Supreme Court bar never
actually argue
a case there, but the right to do so is considered an
honor.
Clinton agreed to the Arkansas fine and suspension Jan. 19,
the day
before he left office, as part of an understanding with
Independent
Counsel Robert Ray to end the Monica Lewinsky
investigation.
The agreement also satisfied the legal effort by the
Arkansas Supreme
Court Committee on Professional Conduct to disbar Clinton
for giving
misleading testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment
case.
The Supreme Court followed its standard rules in the
Clinton case, which include suspending Clinton from practice in the
court and giving him 40 day to show why he should not be
permanently disbarred.
The court order did not mention any vote by the justices.
"Whenever a member of the bar of this court has been
disbarred or
suspended from practice of any court of record, or has
engaged in
conduct unbecoming a member of the bar of this court, the
court will enter an order suspending that member from practice
before this court,"
Supreme Court rules say.
Julia Payne, a spokeswoman for Clinton, referred calls to
his lawyer,
David Kendall, in Washington. Kendall did not immediately
return a call
seeking comment.
