In re the Reinstatement of Blake
Supreme Court of Oklahoma
1ConcurrenceGurich, J.
[1 I join in the Court's decision to reinstate Glen Blake, but write separately to address my concern over the absence of restrictions on disbarred or suspended lawyers who remain employed in the legal profession. Blake's work for the Tulsa County Public Defender's office came remarkably close to engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. I believe it is necessary to adopt more defini*473tive boundaries and bright-line constraints regulating employment of disbarred and suspended lawyers.
