    I reported this in a little more depth back on Jul 11 in my
DDWR. Here's part of it:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        "We disbarred him and gave him a one-year sentence
        just to emphasize that his email campaign was a
        particularly egregious offense," said William W.
        Hunt III of the Tennessee Board of Professional
        Responsibility.

    Canter also has offices in California and Arizona, and
the disbarment may carry over to those states due to
reciprocal agreements.

    While Canter was disbarred for a total of five years,
because other charges were included, one year was added with
the possibility of being used as a precedent. However, we
must remember that lawyers are under stricter advertising
laws in relation to "professional conduct" than any other
profession. (And we have some pretty "hammering" lawyer
commercials on the local TV.) So don't hold your breath
waiting to hear of similar cases in other industries.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Remember, despite the trashy lawyer commercials on TV
(hammers and hurt lines), lawyer advertising is still
controversial and subject to state bar association rulings.
Different states have different standards, and I think the
whole lawyerly "behavior" area is a bed of political worms.
