Conduct Unbecoming, But Not Sanctionable


— May 20, 2004

Many of us have horror stories about dealing with the local department of motor vehicles. But Harold Link�s tale includes a two-year court battle and an attempt to suspend his law license over his conduct.

Link�s case stemmed from a confrontation with Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration employee Wilbert Myles, and hinged on the question of whether the incident involved professional conduct at all.
