The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday sentenced a disbarred Fort Lauderdale attorney to jail after he continued to practice law. Justices in a unanimous opinion upheld a referee’s recommendation that Jeffrey Alan Norkin be held in contempt, but it went further than a recommendation that he receive a 10-day jail sentence. The Supreme Court sentenced Norkin to 60 days in the Broward Main Jail, with 50 days suspended if Norkin successfully completes five months of probation. “This (Supreme) Court has exhausted all sanction options other than ordering a period of incarceration,” the opinion said.
