Went to the Legal Professions Blog to find more details, also found more posts about the DC Disciplinary Counsel. Turns out Mr. Pants’ case is not a one-off; worse, not even close to being a record…

I can’t believe you people think this is a joke. This is a man’s _pants_ we’re talking about. Didn’t you hear his tear-filled victim’s statement?

In reply to Rendall. It's been seven years since the D.C. Disciplinary Counsel took up the matter. Why they took so long is a perfectly valid question, and leads one to question what other unethical or illegal acts of lawyering may be going on in the District without the Counsel's scrutiny.

Makes me wonder if the Disciplinary Counsel hadn’t originally decided to let the proceedings die a quiet death, until the admin judge did something to piss them off, like not donate to the right campaign or something. Voila! Proceedings resurrected!

2005 wasn’t 7 years ago.
