P.S. Commenter VMS says this step is a formality, Silver lost his right to practice as an attorney on conviction in November.
One Comment
Silver ceased being an attorney under NY’s Judiciary Law months ago, when he was convicted of a felony. The action by the court disbarring him is a mere formality. Note that his disbarment is nunc pro tunc to November 30, 2015, the date of conviction.
