Summary: Attorney Ken Dale Kerr, Jr., has been disbarred from the practice of law in Oklahoma.
Legal Issues: The Oklahoma Supreme Court is directly responsible for the accreditation of attorneys in the state of Oklahoma. This is accomplished through the Oklahoma Bar Association and its enforcement of the Oklahoma Rules for Professional Conduct for Attorneys ("ORPC"). If an attorney is alleged to have violated the ORPC, the Oklahoma Bar Association investigates as outlined in the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings ("RGDP").
Because the change of status of an attorney from 'good standing' to 'disbarred' is of public significance, all attorney licensure matters are published, regardless of whether a novel legal question is involved.
Discussion: Kerr was charged with five counts if misconduct. He never responded to the Bar or appeared at his hearing. As such, the Court deemed the alleged conduct as proven and acted in accordance with that finding.
