Being a judge isn’t all banging gavels and having people pay for luxury Alaskan fishing trips. There’s a lot of reading, writing, and dishing out consequences for people that can’t meet deadlines. And those consequences can be dire — not meeting deadlines just cost a judge his ability to practice law. From Tri State Homepage:
The Supreme Court of Kentucky has indefinitely suspended an elected judge in Henderson County from practicing law after he allegedly violated an order of the court to respond to charges issued by the Inquiry Commission.
And while the is some ambiguity on what the charges are, the reason for his suspension boils down to not being on top of his paperwork:
Officials say [David] Curlin failed to respond to bar complaints made against him, and the Supreme Court of Kentucky issued orders in March and April directing Curlin to show cause why he should not be suspended from the practice of law. In a written response, Curlin said he had not received motions for the March order to show cause due to the hasty closure of his law office and a change in his employment address.
After Curlin wrote back, he was ordered to file former answers to each of the charges against him by September 25th. After giving him 4 days of wiggle room, the Court’s suspension came down on September 30th.
Great way to end the month, huh.
