The Kentucky Bar Association Also Voted to Disbar Judge Joseph "Jay" Bamberger



Judge Bamberger

 Judge Joseph "Jay" Bamberger (pic) presided over the fen-phen settlements that resulted in the disbarment and long prison sentences meted out to various Kentucky lawyers; and, now seems to have cost legendary Mass Torts and Class Action Attorney Stanley Chesley, his law license and reputation.

Yesterday, the Kentucky Bar Association Board of Governors in handing down their disbarment recommendation for Chesley also recommended that Bamberger also be permanently disbarred for his role in the fen-phen scandals.  This is the link to the NYK.com account of the proceeding and vote.
