Mr. Slaughter is “suspended with fitness,” which means that after the three year period is up, the attorney must affirmatively prove to the D.C. Court of Appeals that he has mended his ways and is now ethical. While it is not exactly the same as disbarment, it can have the same functional effect depending on the attorney’s subsequent rehabilitation, or lack thereof.
