    Phill Kline was not disbarred, he had an indefinite suspension of his Kansas law license. Meaning he cannot practice law for 3 years.

    Kline, now an assistant professor of law at Liberty University in Virginia, will have to wait three years if he wants to seek reinstatement of his Kansas law license, according to Kansas Supreme Court rules.

    In Friday’s order, the court rejected the recommendation of the state’s disciplinary administrator for attorneys, who had sought Kline’s disbarment. It also ruled that Kline did not violate four other rules that a state disciplinary panel had previously found he had.

    Since that article was published in 2020, Kline will be eligible to reinstate his Kansas law licence in November of this year.

    Skrmetti may face something similar in Tennessee, but more than likely his sentence will be a much lighter slap on the wrist compared to what Kline got…
