Pennsylvania prosecutors consider Kane’s suspension order
HARRISBURG – Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s office is trying to figure out how to comply with a state Supreme Court order to suspend her law license and make her ineligible to practice law.
A spokesman for the attorney general’s office said the court notified Kane on Tuesday morning that the suspension wouldn’t take effect for 30 days.
Spokesman Chuck Ardo says the office continues to function normally, but he says lawyers there are discussing what changes must be made. Kane’s private lawyers haven’t said whether they’ll challenge or appeal the suspension.
Bruce Antkowiak, a law professor at St. Vincent College, says it could create an enormously complicated situation for Kane’s office to sort out and potentially give defense lawyers an avenue to raise challenges.
The Supreme Court ordered Kane’s license suspended Monday.
