Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood said Thursday that the State Bar of Georgia has demanded he participate in an examination of his mental health in order to keep his law license.

Wood, who has been an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen, has already been hit with social media bans and the loss of at least one client after a number of social media posts calling for the execution of former Vice President Mike Pence.

The test will be administered in Room 101 at the Ministry of Love. On the upside, Wood will be assured of getting all the answers right before he leaves.

Since when has it been required for any attorney to be mentally fit?

We don’t even do this for gun licenses.

Lin Wood has not been the best spokesman for the cause of Team Trump, and his past assertions have at times harmed a cold logical assessment of the overall record.

But nobody can deny the passion demonstrated.

It would seem that this sort of action on the side of the Bar would have to be outlined in their membership requirements. If its not, I would expect legal action over this.

Rule 4-104. Mental Incapacity and Substance Abuse

Mental illness, cognitive impairment, alcohol abuse, or substance abuse, to the extent of impairing competency as a lawyer, shall constitute grounds for removing a lawyer from the practice of law.
Upon a determination by the State Disciplinary Board that a lawyer may be impaired or incapacitated to practice law as a result of one of the conditions described in paragraph (a) above, the Board may, in its sole discretion, make a confidential referral of the matter to an appropriate medical or mental health professional for the purposes of evaluation and possible referral to treatment and/or peer support groups. The Board may, in its discretion, defer disciplinary findings and proceedings based upon the impairment or incapacity of a lawyer to afford the lawyer an opportunity to be evaluated and, if necessary, to begin recovery. In such situations the medical or mental health professional shall report to the State Disciplinary Board and the Office of the General Counsel concerning the lawyer’s progress toward recovery. A lawyer’s refusal to cooperate with the medical or mental health professional or to participate in the evaluation or recommended treatment may be grounds for further proceedings under these Rules, including emergency suspension proceedings pursuant to Rule 4-108.

“”Since when has it been required for any attorney to be mentally fit?””

Can we require the same thing for attorneys who don’t practice law anymore BUT SIT IN CONGRESS? That’s where they do the most damage. Wouldn’t even want to guess at the % there who are attorneys - too many, that’s for sure!
