HALT produced the 2006 Lawyer Discipline Report Card to assess whether states have taken any meaningful action to improve the lawyer discipline system since our last Report Card in 2002. Unfortunately, few states showed any improvement, and many states' systems actually saw their grades decline!
"In state after state, the attorney discipline system not only fails
consumers, but ultimately undermines the integrity of the legal profession,"
explains HALT Associate Counsel Suzanne Blonder. "We hope this wake-up call
will spur more disciplinary officials to join us in working for meaningful
reforms."
