Simple English definitions for legal terms

striking off the roll

Read a random definition: exoneration, suit for

A quick definition of striking off the roll:

Striking off the roll means that a lawyer is no longer allowed to practice law. This happens when a lawyer does something wrong or breaks the rules. It's like being kicked out of a special club for lawyers. Even though it's usually forever, sometimes a lawyer can ask to come back after a certain amount of time. In England and Wales, they use a different term called "striking off the roll" for when a solicitor (a type of lawyer) is expelled.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Striking off the roll is the process of expelling a lawyer from the practice of law, usually due to disciplinary violations. It is a loss of the privilege to stand inside the wooden barrier that separates the gallery from the actual courtroom and conduct business with the court.

Example: If a lawyer is found guilty of misconduct, such as stealing from clients or lying to the court, they may be disbarred or struck off the roll. This means they can no longer practice law and are no longer allowed to represent clients in court.

Explanation: The example illustrates how striking off the roll is a serious consequence for lawyers who violate ethical and professional standards. It is a way to protect the public from lawyers who engage in unethical behavior and to maintain the integrity of the legal profession.

@Eminatorcookieeater: same and my sub status was blank yesterday - trying to research what it means
@shaquilleoatmeal: ooo I wonder what that means, hopefully it means we'll hear back soon

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
