A New York court ruled Thursday that as a result of pleading guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and serving six months in jail in connection with a 2007 domestic violence incident involving an ex-girlfriend, former Cravath, Swaine & Moore associate Michael Zulandt cannot practice law in the state for the next three years.
Zulandt pleaded guilty in December 2008 to third-degree assault following the altercation, during which, according to court documents, he threw the woman to the floor repeatedly, slapped her in the face, called her derogatory names, and destroyed several of her possessions.
