Larry has been a practicing attorney, duly licensed in the States for 40 years. He has an ongoing business relationship with another attorney, Ruth; they mutually refer clients to each other. Larry prac- tices only worker's compensation law, and Ruth only wills and estates law, and they share a portion of their fees with each other. Ruth was indicted under a Federal fraud charge and was disbarred from practice in the States; however, Ruth continued to refer clients to Larry and Larry continued to pay a portion of the fee collected to Ruth for her referral.Ent diw qu of sand Should Larry be sanctioned for his actions? Why? To what degree? Does the court have this power? Under what premise? For a hint, see In re Discipio, 163 III. 2d 515, 645 N.E.2d 906 (1995).
