The suspension of Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s law license is set to take effect Wednesday, and, while her office has not yet specified how the change will affect operations, attorneys and prosecutors expect Kane will have limited authority without an active license.

Wednesday marks 30 days after the justices ordered the license suspension, and its first day in effect. The order, which specified that it should not be construed as a removal from elected office, was handed down six weeks after Kane was charged criminally over allegedly leaking grand-jury secrets and then lying under oath about the disclosure.
