Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Mark Badgett to be disbarred? NC State Bar says they will serve the order

(By Leslie Bray Evans, The Stokes News) - A legal case that has been in the public eye for a few years now may soon be coming to an end. The Disciplinary Hearing Commission (DHC) of the North Carolina State Bar (NCSB) reached a decision on Friday to enter an order to disbar Stokes County lawyer, Mark Badgett.

The decision was announced in open court on February 19 in Raleigh. Badgett had been found guilty of violating the rules of professional conduct in his legal career and had already been removed from his position as a district court judge for the 17-B Judicial District of NC. He had, however, been allowed to practice law privately since his removal from judicial office in the fall of 2009.

Now, even that may be coming to an end.
