Halloran disbarred

From NY Law Journal:

A former New York City councilman from Queens who was convicted of bribery last year and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in March has been disbarred.

Daniel Halloran, 44, who was found guilty in July 2014 for his role in a scheme to get former Democratic state Sen. Malcolm Smith to run as a Republican in the 2013 race for New York City mayor, was automatically disbarred, said an Appellate Division, Second Department panel on July 1, which ordered his name stricken from the roll of attorneys.

Does this mean that when he emerges from prison he can't open a bar?

No problem for Halloran. He never met a bar he couldn't pass.

Why so sad? He made his bed. Now let him lie in it...or should we say prison cot?

Shouldn't Silver and Skelos be also disbarred?

I think there are probably more disbarred attorneys than practicing ones.

Anon No. 7: As much as they deserve to, I believe that they must be convicted first.

Only place for a felon to work is construction. Maybe he'll become an iron worker and tie rebar.

"Only place for a felon to work is construction. Maybe he'll become an iron worker and tie rebar." With his wacky personality don't be surprised if he shows up on some reality TV show.

Halloran wanted to become a lawyer because he heard about the bar exam. He thought that passing it meant downing a dozen whiskers.
