California Supreme Court disbars attorney John Eastman for 'egregious and deceitful conduct'
"Today's California Supreme Court order disbarring John Charles Eastman from the practice of law in California affirms the fundamental principle that attorneys must act with honesty and uphold the rule of law, regardless of the client they represent or the context in which that representation occurs."
The California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Eastman for egregious and deceitful conduct. This decision followed the State Bar Court's findings, which held Eastman responsible for 10 out of 11 charges. Eastman was involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, particularly pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to block Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. The ruling emphasizes the necessity for attorneys to maintain honesty and uphold the rule of law in their professional conduct.
