Don’t Get Disbarred is a must-read for every prosecutor in America. It teaches prosecutors how to stay out of trouble with bar disciplinary authorities. As Warren Buffett says: “It takes twenty years to build your reputation, but only five minutes to lose it.” Veteran prosecutor and award-winning author Morley Swingle presents an informative and often funny work discussing cases from all 50 states where prosecutors were disciplined for misbehavior, receiving everything from censure to disbarment.
