The panel recommended that Michael Ward be suspended for two months and pay more than $8,000 for the expenses of the disciplinary hearing. Ward said in his appeal that there was not “clear and convincing evidence” he failed to represent his client in a proper manner.
The disciplinary hearing was about a bankruptcy case. Ward is accused of failing to forward letters to his clients from a trustee and cutting off contact with the trustee. Ward argued that his clients were difficult to deal with and did not heed his advice.
Attorney Ron McLean, who argued the Supreme Court case for Ward, declined to comment.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The U.S. Attorney’s Office says an Arizona man found guilty of conspiring to distribute meth from Arizona to the Williston area of North Dakota was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison.

He was convicted in February of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, two counts of possession with intent to distribute and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Mayfield received concurrent sentences on the different counts.
Officers arrested Mayfield in February 2015 during a traffic stop near Berthold after they discovered about one pound of methamphetamine in a car he rented. Investigators later found an additional 10 pounds in a Minot hotel.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck-based energy company says it wants to build a roughly 38-mile pipeline to deliver natural gas supply to eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota.
WBI Energy Inc. said Monday that the expansion would cost an estimated $50 million.
The company, a subsidiary of MDU Resources Group Inc., says the project would connect a pipeline near Felton, Minnesota, to WBI Energy’s pipeline near Mapleton, North Dakota.
David Goodin is president and CEO of MDU Resources. Goodin says the project would provide a source of natural gas to fuel industrial and commercial growth in the area.
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple expects benefits from the expansion.
The pipeline would initially be able to move 40 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. Once permitting and regulatory work is done, construction could start in 2018.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakotans will vote in November on a constitutional amendment that supporters believe will bolster the rights of crime victims in the state.
Secretary of State Al Jaeger announced Monday that supporters turned in 34,398 legal signatures, considerably more than the 26,904 names needed to put the idea on the statewide ballot.
North Dakota and South Dakota are among several states where national victims’ rights advocates are pushing the so-called Marsy’s Law measure, now in effect in California and Illinois.
Groups representing North Dakota defense attorneys and prosecutors say changing the constitution to include the proposal is a bad idea and will have unintended consequences. They say laws already are on the books that protect victims of violent crimes.
