Stark Ligon, Executive Director of the Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct v. Oscar Amos Stilley

Summary

The court adopted the special judge’s findings that Stilley committed all thirty-two charged violations of the professional-conduct rules and concluded that his prolonged pattern of frivolous relitigation, disobedience of court orders, threats, lack of candor, and failure to disclose discipline constituted serious misconduct warranting disbarment. The court rejected Stilley’s challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, the adjudication of his legal arguments, the quashing of a subpoena to a referring judge, and the treatment of complaints filed by judges. The opinion therefore entered an order of disbarment.
