      Ok. Given Lawyers general salaries, that’s really not that much. That’s like a slap on the wrist. I was hoping it was like $20,000.

      But the barring still makes me happy.

        It’s more about the barring and the official censure. A couple grand doesn’t mean much A judicial beatdown is professionally damaging.

        And since it’s federal court, being barred from that courtroom is a real blow. It’s not like they can just focus on the next city or county over.

          Couldn’t they just go to other courtrooms in that courthouse? There’s going to be a few to a few dozen

            If the other room is not federal maybe? They mean being barred from the federal courtroom the lawyers can’t practice law in federal court.
