Applying Collateral Estoppel in Attorney Discipline Cases

Jeff Henle, principal attorney at Jeff Henle, P.C., writes: It is remarkable that in attorney discipline cases, if the attorney was previously found guilty of wrongdoing before a judge or panel, the Appellate Division determines what, if any, punishment is to be dispensed without the benefit of witness testimony or oral argument.
