The District of Columbia Court of Appeals suspended Rudy Giuliani’s D.C. law license Wednesday pending the disposition of his New York suspension.
In a two-page order the court cited the action last month by a New York appeals court and said Giuliani is “suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia pending final disposition of this proceeding.”
Giuliani, former President Donald Trump’s lawyer throughout his efforts to have the 2020 election overturned, was suspended from practicing law by the New York court because he made false statements while trying to get courts to overturn Trump’s loss in the presidential race.

Law360 (July 7, 2021, 11:21 PM EDT) The District of Columbia Court of Appeals suspended Rudy Giuliani s law license Thursday, barring former President Donald Trump s attorney from practicing law in the district after a New York state appeals court slapped Giuliani with an interim suspension pending proceedings before an Empire State attorney grievance committee.
The D.C. court has ordered that Giuliani s law license be suspended until the New York matter is resolved, according to the case docket.
The decision doesn t come as a surprise: The D.C. Bar has bar reciprocity, a rule allowing attorneys licensed to practice in other jurisdictions to be admitted to the bar without taking.
