I read the editorial contained in the Dec. 5, 2022, Law Journal. The title of the editorial was “New Jersey should reconsider precedent for permanent disbarment over misappropriated client funds.” It is respectfully submitted that this editorial headline is not consistent with the body of the editorial.
Approximately eight years ago, on Nov. 12, 2015, the Law Journal published my op-ed position advocating that the permanent disbarment rule be eliminated in favor of giving an attorney the opportunity to apply for readmission to the bar. The next month, on Dec. 18, 2015, the New Jersey Law Journal ran an editorial endorsing that position.
