How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that attorney’s appeal from an order disbarring her until she paid sanctions was not moot even after she paid the sanctions because a record of disbarment would be “detrimental- to an attorney’s professional reputation, well-being, and success”
  • finding that the quasi-criminal nature of disciplinary proceedings demanded notice and opportunity to be heard
  • stating that a case will become moot if no effective relief is available to remedy the effect of the violation
  • noting that the Fifth Circuit has recognized that “Loudermill clearly established that post-termination proceedings can satisfy due process requirements only when coupled with adequate pretermination process in public employment termination cases”
  • noting that the possibility of adverse collateral consequences is sufficient to preclude mootness
  • reversing and vacating attorney disbarment because the district court failed to provide adequate notice and opportunity to be heard
