Anti-Catholic lawyer gets 60 days to wrap up her cases

A lawyer who has peppered legal filings with religious slurs against judges was given another 60 days to practice in federal courts in the District of Minnesota.

During a hearing in St. Paul, U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank said he would allow Rebekah Nett, 36, the extra time to wrap up her clients' cases or turn them over to other lawyers. She said she has about 13 pending bankruptcy cases.

Frank ordered her Friday, May 11, not to take on new clients and to inform her current clients that she may soon be suspended or otherwise disciplined. The judge said he would "screen" all her court filings during that time to prevent the kind of offensive language that has indirectly put Nett's livelihood in jeopardy.

Nett was suspended from practicing in the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which includes Wisconsin, after she failed to pay a $5,000 sanction by a federal judge in Green Bay, Wis. (She has paid $500.) The judge cited "gratuitous and offensive comments" Nett made in legal filings in a case of his. He levied the fine in March.
