There needs to be a rule that anyone who does this should be immediately disbarred

I mean. He should be imprisoned, no? Does perjury not apply to the lawyers too?
Replying to @AltoCuddle@lemmy.world
As far as I'm aware perjury can only be committed by someone under oath. And lawyers are not placed under oath. But I agree, the penalty for this shit should be a lot harsher than it's been so far.

I've been to court, and it never even occurred to me that the lawyers are not placed under oath. But they're the ones that do most of the talking during a case. I wonder that the reasoning for not being under oath is.
Putting a lawyer under oath would often mean forcing them to either violate that oath or violate attourney-client privledge, as part of the oath is “the whole truth”.
