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.


No, Clinton was disbarred for his Attorney giving false testimony in Federal
District Court. If the Jones v clinton lawsuit had been reopened, clinto
would have forfeited his Attorney client rights.

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.


If your Attorney gives false information before the Court and you are aware
of it, Arkansas Law holds the client liable.
