Former N.Y. AG Schneiderman Barred From Practicing Law for Year

Former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s license to practice law in the state will be suspended for one year to resolve disciplinary proceedings over his abuse of women, including the slapping and choking of two romantic partners without consent between 2013 and 2017.

Schneiderman, who resigned shortly after the behavior was exposed in a May 2018 New Yorker article, must continue treatment with a mental health professional and submit to supervision by the New York City Bar, according to a court order Tuesday in Manhattan approving the settlement.
