LRANY Applauds New York Supreme Court’s Decision to Disbar Sheldon Silver

“Today’s court decision disbarring former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is a rare and welcome victory for New York’s legal system. Silver carried the plaintiffs’ lawyers water for years as he presided over Albany’s cult of corruption. We applaud the court’s decision and hope this sets a precedent, not just for attorneys who abuse our civil justice system, but for legislators who choose to profit from it.”

-Tom Stebbins, Executive Director, Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York
