20:1720:17, 2 April 2024diffhist−2 John Eastman Undid revision 1216929320 by 67.149.134.222 (talk) It's premature to call him a "former attorney" or "former academic." Also premature to call him a "disbarred lawyer." He's still eligible to practice law in DC and in federal courts. He also still has his affiliation with Claremont, so he's not a "former academic." Need to wait until the CA Supreme Court and other courts officially disbar him.Tag: Undo
