Recall that Rudy Juliani was a personal lawyer and adviser to Trump, and also in the past held the post of mayor of the some-York and federal prosecutor.
Unlike Russian practice, in the United States, the court may suspend a license (lawyer’s status) already at the stage of consideration of disciplinary proceedings. In Russia, the lawyer’s status remains until the final decision of the qualifications. Complaints about Rudy Submitted Disciplinary committee of the court.
Juliani is the first lawyer associated with Trump, who faces a deprivation of a license (disciplinary excited at least two lawyers). His troubles did not end there and immediately after removing from practice, he lost his membership in the Association of New York Lawyers, which reported On your website.
At the same time, the Association recognizes Juliani’s right to defend himself in court and is waiting for a decision on the disciplinary process before “taking further actions”.
Simultaneously with the disciplinary case, the Juliani prosecutor’s office Manhattan, which he headed in the 1980s, dealt. It is investigating the Ukrainian -Gate – a scandal around Trump and Juliani, allegedly provided in 2019, pressure on the president of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in order to get compromising materials for Biden.
In American practice, depending on the state and court decision, the lawyer may be appointed reprimand, warning, a trial period of up to two years or the obligation to compensate for the damage. Also, a lawyer can be removed from practice for up to three years and deprived of a license up to a life sentence. The basis for the most strict and quite rare punishment automatically becomes a criminal offense by a lawyer.
In the United States, a lawyer may be subjected to “disciplinary” not only for violation of ethics, but also for a deliberate violation of the court ruling engaged in disciplinary proceedings, as well as for failure to appear on the agenda, and in the case of assigning the client’s funds and substantial damage to the client.
When suspending or depriving a license for more than six months, the lawyer will be able to restore his right to legal practice only through the court. If the license is deprived of a re -violation, the lawyer will have to wait five years.
Given the “ingredients” and political background, it is difficult to predict the final decision on Juliani. But it will certainly be interesting in comparison with the attempt of Russian lawyers to prohibit the defenders with public and political statements.
