Arizona Supreme Court

In the Matter of Tori S. Bryant

April 6, 2023

Summary

The court affirmed an order disbarring Tori S. Bryant through reciprocal discipline after the Ninth Circuit disbarred her for repeated failures to comply with court rules and orders. Under Arizona's reciprocal-discipline rule, the foreign discipline controls unless the respondent proves a specified exception by a preponderance of the evidence, and Bryant did not establish any exception. The court also held that she could not relitigate the merits or harshness of the foreign disbarment in Arizona.
