Ken Anderson’s law license officially canceled

The Texas Supreme Court canceled Ken Anderson’s law license Tuesday.

Anderson had agreed to give up his law license to settle a civil lawsuit, filed by the State Bar of Texas, that accused him of professional misconduct in his prosecution of Michael Morton in 1986-87.

In an order signed by all nine justices, the Supreme Court determined that accepting Anderson’s resignation was “in the best interest of the public and the profession.”

“The court deems the professional misconduct (of Anderson) conclusively established for all purposes,” the order read. “Ken Anderson must immediately surrender his state bar card and Texas law license to the clerk of the Supreme Court of Texas.”

Without a license, Anderson is barred from practicing law, giving legal advice or describing himself as an attorney.
