NEW YORK -- Edward Samuels, a former law professor who was jailed after pleading guilty to charges of having some 150,000 images of naked and sexually abused children on his office and home computers, was disbarred Thursday.
Samuels, 54, initially lost his his right to practice law in New York State in April after pleading guilty to 100 counts of possessing child pornography. In June he was sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years probation.
On the recommendation of the Supreme Court's Disciplinary Committee, a panel of the court's Appellate Division voted 5-0 on Thursday to make the disbarment official.
