A Minnesota lawyer suspended for suing for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and for infringement of copyright laws

A Minnesota lawyer was recently suspended - indefinitely - for alleged vexatious litigation and frivolous conduct.

The "frivolous conduct" was suing for copyright infringement and for violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

I will withhold my opinion as to propriety of the suspension until the disciplinary office of Minnesota actually publishes cases which were the basis of suspension, because, first, I learnt not to believe conclusory statements in disciplinary orders against civil rights attorneys and, second, I know the tendency in this country of sanctioning civil rights attorneys for doing their jobs.   

I will continue to cover this story and will publish a fuller comment when original documents will become available.

Stay tuned.
