I've been wondering about how that would work. I assume that if he loses his law license he can no longer go before the bar in court. Does that mean he could keep his job and send his licensed ADAs into court? Or is there some firm rule that a DA is automatically fired? I don't know how that would work.

On another thread someone offered the view that a DA need not be an attorney because it is mainly an administrative job. Nifong of course could not practice law, ie prosecute cases himself if disbarred, but he might be able, as that person suggested, to stay in office and run the prosecutors office. I wonder in fact if to run for DA in NC one must be an attorney?
