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.

Lawyers are under oath, at least in my state. When they get sworn in by the Supreme Court they take an oath to essentially tell the truth in court and alert the court if they know of any lies (like if their client commits perjury). They just don’t have to be sworn in at every hearing.
