Shavon Bethel

Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

Shavon Bethel, called to the Bar by Inner Temple in July 2013, was found to have engaged in dishonest or discreditable conduct. In his 20 March 2006 application for admission to the Inner Temple, he falsely asserted he had been awarded a degree from the University of London on 5 July 2005, when he had never been awarded such a degree. In his 7 April 2013 Declaration before call to the Bar, he declared his earlier admission declaration was true when it was not, in light of that false degree information. The 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal disbarred him on 3 November 2015.

Duties found breached:

• Good faith and courtesy to colleagues
