Case timeline
The clerk's wording is shown verbatim and linked to the court's own document page where available.
050948 Anthony v. Virginia State Bar 11/04/2005 A derogatory statement concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, made by a lawyer with knowing falsity or with reckless disregard of its truth or falsity, violates Rule 8.2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct and does not qualify as constitutionally protected speech. No merit is found in any of the attorney's assignments of error, and since the record supports the finding that the attorney in the instant case made such statements, the conclusion that he violated Rule 8.2 and the concomitant sanction imposed for such violation by a three-judge court are affirmed.
