1. Attorneys do not "give testimony".
Clinton was disbarred over his attorny [sic] giving false testimony before
the
court.
You are inaccurate in several respects. Clinton's license was suspended
for a specific period of time; he was not disbarred. He negotiated a
settlement with the Arkansas bar which had served him with a grievance
complaint for giving false testimony in a _Jones v. Clinton_ deposition.
2. There's no law against attorneys making false statements. They aren't
under
oath.
you are mistaken.
An attorney who knowingly misleads a court violates the canons of
professional ethics and is subject to discipline by the court and the bar.
He does not have to be under oath. However, if an attorney gives
materially false testimony while under oath he is also guilty of perjury,
ordinarily a felony.
