More than 1,000 Texas lawyers have signed a request of amici curiae characterizing the recent disbarment of Robert S. Bennett of Houston an “extreme result” that is “unfair” and one that “does not foster the respect and confidence in our disciplinary system that are essential within the Texas bar.”
Gaines West, a lawyer representing Bennett in an appeal of his disbarment, provided a copy of the request, which asks that 289th District Judge Carmen Kelsey of San Antonio “attempt to resolve this case by mediation or other final resolution.” Kelsey signed a judgment in March disbarring Bennett in a disciplinary lawsuit filed by the Commission for Lawyer Discipline.
