It seems the pattern the state Supreme Court set in denying former Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim readmission to the bar after his municipal corruption conviction is here to stay, at least for those applying for reinstatement after being suspended or disbarred. That’s interesting, and I am not sure what it means.

Connecticut, like most states, does not have permanent disbarment. But there is a difficult process for anyone seeking readmission. As a suspension for more than a year is treated the same as a disbarment, it’s not uncommon that lawyers find themselves in the reapplication process.
