EXPERT OPINION
I have an issue with the immigration courts and I believe I might be suspended. I am not even going to fight it because although they are wrong, I am just too busy. Is that the right decision?

Ethics
I have an issue with the immigration courts and I believe I might be suspended. I am not even going to fight it because although they are wrong, I am just too busy. Is that the right decision?
That is absolutely the wrong decision. The problem is the concept of reciprocal discipline. If a lawyer, in any jurisdiction, is suspended or disbarred then the lawyer has to report that to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. The Office of Disciplinary Counsel will then seek reciprocal discipline i.e., the same discipline, except in the most extreme circumstances.
