What if he's not crazy, but just believes crazy things.

Can he be disbarred for that?


The question is does he have a mental impairment that materially impairs his ability to represent his clients [Model Rules, Rule 1.16 (a)(2)]. I think he is crazy but I am far less convinced he is mentally impaired.

In general, you don't want to frick with the Bar but I also think Wood knows his kinda "crazy" doesn't present well in psychological testing.

I'd suggest that "mental impairment" is what people refer to as crazy.

How can one be crazy without being mentally impaired?
