Clinton barred from practicing law before Supreme Court October 1, 2001 Posted: 10:55 AM EDT (1455 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Supreme Court Monday announced that former President Bill Clinton is suspended from practicing law before the High Court. The Court, in a one-sentence order said, "Bill Clinton, of New York, New York, is suspended from the practice of law in this Court, and a rule will issue, returnable within 40 days, requiring him to show cause why he should not be disbarred from the practice of law in this Court". As is its custom, the Supreme Court gave no explanation for its order. Supreme Court observers say such suspensions nearly always lead to permanent disbarments. In April, Clinton's Arkansas law license was suspended for five years and he paid a $25,000 fine. The original disbarment lawsuit was brought by a committee of the Arkansas Supreme Court. The order on Clinton came as the Supreme Court opened its 2001-2002 session. With U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson looking on, Chief Justice William Rehnquist Monday opened the court term by recognizing "the terrible loss" caused by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and expressed condolences to Olson over his wife's death. Barbara Olson was a passenger on the hijacked jet that crashed into the Pentagon. "Before we hear the first argument, let us take a moment to recognize the terrible loss caused by the terrorist attacks on America that occurred on September 11," Rehnquist said. "I know our hearts go out to the families of those killed and injured. We extend our condolences to the Solicitor General of the United States Theodore Olson for the loss of his wife Barbara. "In the aftermath of the attacks we have witnessed extraordinary bravery and compassion from Americans from all walks of life. Let us take a moment to grieve with those who mourn, and honor those who have heroically performed their duty," Rehnquist said. www9.cnn.com . .
