In re James, Judd Barton, 2014PR00072
Disposition Disbarment
Effective Date of Disposition 09/21/2015
End Date of Disposition No disposition end date scheduled at this time. Discipline continues until further order of the Court.
Definition of Disposition Disbarment is a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct warranting the most serious sanction. The disbarred lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the disbarment and may not return to the practice of law unless and until he or she has demonstrated his or her rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case, which may not be filed until five years after the effective date of the disbarment.
Case Summary Mr. James, who was licensed in 1981, was disbarred. In 2012, he was suspended from the practice of law in Illinois and before the federal immigration boards and courts. He engaged in the unauthorized practice of law by continuing to represent immigration clients after that suspension. In addition, he counseled immigration clients to make false statements to immigration authorities.

Disposition Suspension for a specified period of time and until further order of the Court
Effective Date of Disposition 02/04/2013
End Date of Disposition
Definition of Disposition A suspension until further order of the Court reflects a determination that the lawyer has engaged in misconduct and that the misconduct warrants an interruption of the lawyer's authority to practice law during the suspension period, which is a fixed period of time identified in the Supreme Court's order and until the lawyer has demonstrated rehabilitation, good character, and current knowledge of the law in a subsequent reinstatement case. The lawyer is not authorized to practice law during the period of the suspension.
Case Summary Mr. James, who was licensed in 1981, was suspended until he complies with obligations imposed upon him after a prior disciplinary suspension, and until further order of the Court. In 2012, he was sanctioned for practicing law before immigration authorities after his name had been removed from the Master Roll of Attorneys because he failed to pay registration fees or comply with Minimum Continuing Legal Education requirements. In addition, he made false statements to a tribunal about his registration status.
