Ted Stevens May Lose His Law License |

Although he is not currently practicing law, the Alaska Bar Association is seeking to temporarily suspend Ted Stevens’ law license.
According to Alaska bar association rules, a felony conviction begins the moment the jury delivers a guilty verdict. If Stevens successfully appeals his case, his law license will be reinstated. However, if the appeal fails, the suspension will be made permanent.
Maybe this is why he is in denial about his conviction.

Let’s hope so!
What kind of lawyer thinks that you can practice law with a felony conviction?
I do not know about Alaska but in Florida doesn’t a felony conviction take away your right to vote for life?

I hadn’t even thought about his law license. He earned his ignominy
He can still apply for his perma fund dividend check too since his ‘conviction’ was in DC not Alaska.
