Not true! Hardy Parkerson was not
disbarred. He did have the ODC
come down on him to attempt to
summarily suspend him from practicing
law, but he made a deal to resign
his law license to buy time to shut
down his busy law practice. Hardy
was probably the most honest lawyer
I have ever known; and I know from
experience that most lawyers are
basically honest. They have to be:
everything they do is in writing and
documented and pretty much a matter
of public record. Hardy's problem
was that he was a political activist
with a law license and he was speaking
out publicly about the break down of
the criminal justice and other justice
systems in Louisiana, and in his home
county--they call them parishes in
Louisana--and, also, he was speaking out
about the wrongness of the IOLTA system
whereby Bar Foundations' take the interest
off of lawyers' clients' money held in
attorney trust accounts by their lawyers,
as if it were their own and spending and
using it as they saw/see fit.
