Calvin D. Fox v. The Florida Bar
ERISA DueProcess CriminalProcedure Punishment
The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that:
"No State shall. . .deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Rule 5 -1.2(f(1) Fla Bar Trust Accounting Rules, for prosecuting attorneys, provides. inter alia, that:
"Members of the bar. . . may not assert any privilege personal to the lawyer,. .
Rule 5-1.2(f) Florida Trust Accounting Rules and its predecessors corrupts trust proceedings against the Petitioner and all Florida Bar Members, because it absolutely denies the Petitioner and all members of the Florida Bar, the right to assert any personal privilege just because of our status as attorneys and serves the corrupt purpose of 1.) no supervision of disciplinary counsel's misconduct and 2.) making her misconduct unireviewable, which is an unlawful purpose, causes arbitrary and capricious results, and a denial of fundamental due process and equal protection.
Whether Rule 5-1.2(f) of the Florida Trust Accounting Rules violates the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by denying attorneys the right to assert personal privileges
