Controversial Lawyer and anti-games activist Jack Thompson has been disbarred. In a four page written order, The Florida Supreme Court agreed with a referee's recommendation to permanently disbar Thompson who will no longer be licensed to practice law.

Over a three year period it was found that Thompson was involved in extensive misconduct without remorse. The referee's report states:

Over a very extended period of time involving a number of totally unrelated cases and individuals, [r]espondent has demonstrated a pattern of conduct to strike out harshly, extensively, repeatedly and willfully to simply try to bring as much difficulty, distraction and anguish to those he considers in opposition to his causes. He does not proceed within the guidelines of appropriate professional behavior, but rather uses other means available to intimidate, harass, or bring public disrepute to those whom he perceives oppose him.

In the 169-page report that was filed in July by the referee a long list of repeat violations that occurred over a three-year period were listed with a particular focus on ten violations:

(1) respondent made false statements of material fact to courts and repeatedly violated a court order;

(2) respondent communicated the subject of representation directly with clients of opposing counsel;

(3) respondent engaged in prohibited ex parte communications;

(4) respondent publicized and sent hundreds of pages of vitriolic and disparaging missives, letters, faxes, and press releases, to the affected individuals;

(5) respondent targeted an individual who was not involved with respondent in any way, merely due to "the position [the individual] holds in state and national politics;"

(6) respondent falsely, recklessly, and publicly accused a judge as being amenable to the "fixing" of cases;

(7) respondent sent courts inappropriate and offensive sexual materials;

(8) respondent falsely and publicly accused various attorneys and their clients of engaging in a conspiracy/enterprise involving "the criminal distribution of sexual materials to minors" and attempted to get prosecuting authorities to charge these attorneys and their clients for racketeering and extortion;

(9) respondent harassed the former client of an attorney in an effort to get the client to use its influence to persuade the attorney to withdraw a defamation suit filed by the attorney against respondent; and

(10) respondent retaliated against attorneys who filed Bar complaints against him for his unethical conduct by asserting to their clients, government officials, politicians, the media, female lawyers in their law firm, employees, personal friends, acquaintances, and their wives, that the attorneys were criminal pornographers who objectify women. The Court concludes that the facts, as even more extensively detailed in the referee's report, support the referee's numerous recommendations as to guilt.

In what has become a common occurrence, Thompson walked out of the courtroom during the final hearing, after the referee would not allow him to "to turn the [d]isciplinary proceeding into a press conference." The court then approved Thompson's disbarment.

The Court approves the corrected referee's report and John Bruce Thompson is permanently disbarred, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies the Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the permanent disbarment effective immediately. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed.

The court also upheld Thompson's fine of $43,675.
