In the Matter of a Member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of Delaware

Summary

The Court independently reviewed the Board's recommendation and transferred Kelly to disability inactive status because clear and convincing evidence established that a physical or mental condition adversely affected her ability to practice law and endangered prospective clients, the public, and the administration of justice. The Court rejected Kelly's challenges to its subject matter jurisdiction and to the proceedings under due process, equal protection, free exercise, and free speech principles. The Court concluded that the proceeding was based on the unfocused, irrelevant, and incoherent nature of Kelly's submissions, not on her religious or political views.
