Supreme Court Argument - Gentile v. State Bar of Nevada (Attorney Discipline - ETHICS)

This CLE course which qualifies for 1 hour of Ethics credit is brought to you by CLE123,Inc. and Oyez.org. The Course like the other Oyez.org courses consists of oral argument before the United States Supreme Court.

Attorney Gentile was disciplined by the State Bar of Nevada for making statement during the pendency of a criminal proceeding. The statements which happened to be critical of the prosecuting authorities were determined to be violative of a Nevada Disciplinary Rule which prohibited such statemens. Gentile claimed that the rule was an improper restriction on free speech. This case is unusual as it is one of very few where the Court involved itself in a case involving Attorney Discipline.
