Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a proceeding wherein the respondent was directed to show cause why he should not be cited for contempt of this court for holding himself out as an attorney and practicing law in the courts of this state. The proceedings were begun on May 5, 1952, by the filing with us by the members of the Committee on Illegal Practice of Law of the State Bar Association of a motion for leave to file the affidavits and an application for citation for contempt. This motion set out that the respondent was not licensed by this court as an attorney at law but that notwithstanding the rules of this court and the statutes relating thereto he had assumed the office of an attorney at law; that such acts were in contempt of the dignity of this court and thereby he was in contempt thereof. The applicants requested leave to file the affidavits of certain practicing lawyers and that a citation be issued against respondent requiring him to show cause why he should not be cited for contempt. Attached to this motion was an affidavit signed by four practicing attorneys of the county wherein respondent resides. This affidavit described four instances where the respondent had acted as an attorney by presenting matters to the probate court of Linn County, Kansas. Copies of the pleadings filed by respondent in these matters were attached to that motion. We allowed the applicants to file the affidavit and sustained the motion for a citation to show cause.
