About two weeks ago I reported that Rudy Giuliani's license to practice law was suspended by a court in New York. One question that suspension raised, of course, was whether other jurisdictions in which he was licensed would suspend him "reciprocally" also. Now we have the answer.
Last week a District of Columbia court suspended Giuliani from practicing law in the nation’s capital. Because the suspension was just an order based on the fact that he was suspended already in another jurisdiction, the order was very short. It essentially simply said that the D.C. court system had received a “certified copy” of New York’s decision to suspend Giuliani’s law license which triggered D.C. Bar Rule XI, § 11(d) related to “reciprocal discipline.” Law & Crime has a good explanation here.
