Art. 864 Attorney subject to disciplinary action

Here's a plain English summary of this rule.

If a lawyer breaks the rules about signing court documents on purpose, they can face discipline for it. This means real consequences for the lawyer personally, not just for their client's case. The same goes for lawyers who put shocking, offensive, or inappropriate language into legal paperwork filed with the court.

This rule works as a backup enforcement tool. Other rules explain what lawyers are supposed to do when they sign and file documents, like making sure claims are honest and have some legal basis. This rule says that if a lawyer knowingly ignores those requirements, or writes something crude or improper in a filing, the court can take disciplinary action against that attorney. This helps keep court documents professional and keeps lawyers accountable for what they submit to the court.
