The California Supreme Court on April 15, 2026 denied John Eastman's petition for review and ordered him disbarred, ending a 54-month disciplinary proceeding over his role drafting the legal strategy to overturn the 2020 election. Eastman joins Rudy Giuliani and Kenneth Chesebro among the small group of attorneys from the 60-plus who filed post-election challenges to have actually lost their licenses, while most targeted lawyers have escaped sanction despite more than 100 bar complaints filed by accountability groups. Legal ethics scholars remain divided over whether the California ruling is a proportionate response to egregious factual dishonesty or a precedent that could chill future representation of unpopular political clients.
