Big news today from Kotaku as we hear that Jack Thompson, video gaming's worst enemy, will lose his right to practice law in the sunny state of Florida in 30 days.As Kotaku puts it, "Judgment has been entered in the case that started last year and came to a head when Judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the bombastic, showboating law man. The court has approved the report and has ordered that JT is officially disbarred as of 30 days from today."
To quote the court, "The Court approves the corrected referee's report and John Bruce Thompson is permanently disbarred, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies the Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the permanent disbarment effective immediately. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed."
Here's Jack's response to the judgement and here's a game developer's celebratory cake.
