Anti-video game attorney Jack Thompson is disbarred permanently



Infamously vocal anti-video game attorney Jack Thompson is disbarred permanently, says a ruling from the Florida Supreme Court.

The Florida Supreme Court approved a recommendation made by Judge Dava Tunis earlier this year that Thompson receive a permanent disbarment with no opportunity for reinstatement.

Tunis had presided over a long disciplinary proceeding in which the Florida Bar raised 31 separate disciplinary issues concerning Thompson; the Judge determined he was guilty on 27 of these, and in addition to recommending enhanced disbarment, she also recommended Thompson pay legal fees in the amount of $43,675.35 to the Bar. The Florida Supreme Court also ruled that Thompson must pay these fees in addition to approving the Judge's disbarment recommendation.
