(37,549 posts)practice law anymore have two legal options--retire or resign voluntarily. The non-payment of bar fees results in a suspension because of the violation of the Judicial Code which then requires a motion to the disciplinary committee to lift. I've helpfully provided the links up thread. If Mr. Greenwald wished to not practice law, but not incur the fees, the CLE obligations, and the added trouble, all he had to do was the proper paperwork. ***
In other states, like mine, lawyers who don't practice have the option of going inactive. But non-payment of fees due isn't an 'option.'
***Unless of course, the suspension wasn't for fees. If it was for fees, then Greenwald strikes me as a friggen' idiot. Why would you ever voluntarily list yourself as "suspended?"
