Former Gov Hannett Suspended One Year by State Bar
Former New Mexico Governor Arthur T. Hannett has been suspended from the state bar for one year by the State Board of Bar Commissioners. The decision followed a nine day hearing over Hannett’s newspaper attacks on Judge Reed Holloman, with the board noting the remarks targeted the judge in his capacity as a jurist rather than as an attorney. The panel indicated no immediate action against Holloman and suggested any discipline would require separate charges and possible legislative action.
