Editorial
A lawyer discipline panel has recommended a 20-month suspension for an ex-Vedder Price shareholder in Chicago, Robert Hankes, for faking invoices and double-billing.
As a former Am Law 200 partner who admitted to fraudulent invoices, Hankes’ case stands out among lawyer discipline matters. But in stopping short of disbarment, the panel’s recommendation would allow Hankes a potential path to practice law later on.
