Supreme Court of Florida

The Florida Bar, Complainant(s) v. George Murray Hudson, Respondent(s) — Canady, J., Dissenting

October 13, 201136 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 590

Summary

In a dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Canady argues that George Murray Hudson’s willful failure to file federal income tax returns and his pattern of misconduct constitute disqualifying conduct under the Florida Bar’s reinstatement rules, warranting denial of his petition for reinstatement and a three‑year bar on future petitions. The dissent emphasizes the need for clear and convincing evidence of rehabilitation, which Hudson has not shown.
