Hundreds of lawyers whose names have surfaced in the Operation Greylord court corruption probe are being investigated by an arm of the Illinois Supreme Court and could face discipline including disbarment, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. About 200 of the 352 lawyers being investigated were linked to the case of Chancery Court Judge Reginald J. Holzer, who was convicted of shaking down lawyers and others in his courtroom. Also, the names of seven lawyers have been sent by probers directly to the Supreme Court for possible disbarment, the newspaper said. Six judges and 14 lawyers were said to have surrendered their law licenses.
