In Re Ivy

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court independently reviewed the disciplinary record and upheld disbarment because Ivy intentionally gave false sworn testimony and maintained those falsehoods during the disciplinary proceedings, causing serious actual or potential injury to the accused party and the legal system. The court also upheld the disciplinary board’s attorney-fee and cost award. The court concluded that the aggravating factors outweighed Ivy’s lack of prior discipline and that her nonrepresentational setting did not warrant mitigation.
