How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that differences in standard of proof does not automatically establish an infirmity of proof
- concluding that New York’s “fair preponderance” standard of proof in disciplinary cases provides no basis in itself to avoid reciprocal discipline in this jurisdiction which uses the higher “clear and convincing evidence” standard
- explaining that a public censure “is within the range of sanctions that might be imposed in a non-reciprocal case” for misrepresentations to a court
- despite conflicting testimony regarding veracity of attorney’s allegedly false statement, the statement was “nonetheless misleading” and therefore would suffice as a basis for reciprocal discipline
