| Disbarment is the most severe form of disciplinary sanction.[46] We have held in a number of cases that the power to disbar must be exercised with great caution[47] and should not be decreed if any punishment less severe such as reprimand, suspension, or fine will accomplish the end desired.[48] The rule then is that disbarment is meted out only in clear cases of misconduct that seriously affect the standing and character of the lawyer as an officer of the court.[49] | |||||
