On Thursday, March 16, 2023, the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division Third Judicial Department entered an order removing South Korea attorney Soonwon Jang’s name from the roll of attorneys of the State of New York pursuant to the latter’s application for resignation from the state bar for non-disciplinary reasons.
