Disgraced Ex-NY AG Eric Schneiderman Admits to Abusing Former Romantic Partners, Will Get Law License Suspended for One Year Jerry Lambe
Nearly three years after a
New Yorker investigation ended his tenure in a defining moment for the #MeToo movement, former New York State Attorney General
Eric T. Schneiderman (D) agreed on Tuesday to have his law license suspended for one year over allegations that he physically, verbally, and emotionally abused women in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
According to an order issued Tuesday by the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division for the First Judicial Department, Schneiderman consented to the suspension after the First Department’s Attorney Grievance Committee (AGC) filed a petition of charges against him in August 2020 following a 14-month investigation into the abuse allegations.
