Summary

In re Disbarment of Crow — Opinion of the Court

It is for us to make our own determination as to the fitness of an attorney to remain on our rolls. State proceedings of disbarment, though presumptively correct, are not binding. See Selling Radford, 243 U.S. 46, 37 S.Ct. 377, 61 L.Ed. 585. This is not the first time that state disbarment proceedings have been challenged as lacking in procedural due process. See Isserman v. Ethics Committee, 345 U.S. 927 (dissent) . Sometimes we can act on the face of the record as where no serious issues of fact are involved.
