Please sign HALT's petition!

By signing our Lawyer Discipline Best Practices petition, you will be calling on the officials of your state's attorney discipline system to institute 10 reasonable reforms - including disclosing a lawyer's complete disciplinary history, opening lawyer discipline hearings to everyone and issuing strong sanctions, such as permanent disbarment, when lawyers behave unethically.

Internet-generated petitions have more weight when you stand behind what you are signing. Therefore, we encourage you to give your full name, email address, and city as well as any comments you want to share with HALT and your state bar about lawyer discipline.

HALT will share this information only with your state bar. We will not sell or distribute your personal information to any other organization. So please, take a moment now to let your state bar know that you, like a growing number of Americans, want an accountable, effective and transparent lawyer discipline system now!

Choose your state from the drop-down menu below and then proceed to hit the button labeled GO to have access to specific state petitions.
