Once again, you miss the point, or do you honestly believe that judges stand matters down while they check to see if the lawyer standing before them is in good standing with the bar?

Well, around here, if you want to get into the special “attorneys only” line through the metal detectors and such, you have to show your Bar Card (I have to show my badge). And, if a Judge has doubts, I expect they have a clerk or bailiff check the records. But has anyone suggested tha Judges routinely stop procedings to check? Seems like a strawman. Are you telling me that a Judge *NEVER * , at any time, checks the State Bar records when seeing a new attorney in their Court? :dubious: I suspect that such a thing can be done without delaying Court procedings. :dubious:
