Don’t Get Disbarred

Don’t Get Disbarred is a must-read for every prosecutor in America. It teaches prosecutors how to stay out of trouble with state bar disciplinary authorities.  As Warren Buffett said: “It takes twenty years to build your reputation, but only five minutes to lose it.”

Veteran prosecutor and award-winning author Morley Swingle has penned the most practical and entertaining book for prosecutors ever written. In this informative and often amusing work, Swingle collects and discusses hundreds of cases from all 50 states providing specific examples of prosecutors being disciplined for misbehavior, receiving everything from admonishment to total disbarment.  Their misconduct arises from ethical lapses, sometimes occurring in a split second, and at times resulting in catastrophic consequences for defendants.

“Don’t Get Disbarred: Ethics & Professional Responsibility For Prosecutors is the best book ever written for prosecutors who want to follow the Rules of Professional Conduct and stay out of trouble themselves.  Every prosecutor, no matter what level of experience or inexperience, should read it.” Stephen Sokolof, General Counsel, Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (Retired)
