Kris Kobach under investigation by Kansas Supreme Court disciplinary office
Source: The Topeka Capital-Journal
A disciplinary office operated by the Kansas Supreme Court has opened an investigation into Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach after receiving a complaint.
Keri Strahler, 47, of Topeka, said she received a letter over the weekend that says allegations she made against Kobach will be investigated and that an investigator would be in contact with her. Strahler said Monday that she has not yet heard from anyone at the court since receiving the letter Saturday.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Lisa Taylor said she could not confirm or comment on the investigation because proceedings in the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator are confidential, but she said complainants and respondents in investigations can release the information. The administrator reviews complaints of misconduct against lawyers, conducts investigations, holds public hearings when appropriate, and recommends discipline to the Supreme Court in serious matters, according to the office website.
Kobachs spokeswoman Samantha Poetter said in an email that Kobachs office was reviewing the investigation and had no comment.

(6,913 posts)Many Ethics complaints are filed, few result in discipline. My brother was once accused of conspiring with space aliens to cause his client to be convicted of a crime. (He denied it.)
I have been the subject of several ethics complaints; I was an attorney for the state of Oregon and did court work for many years. No complaint was ever determined to be founded but people who lose are often very angry. It's just part of the job.
