What other options does an attorney who has been disciplined by a state supreme court (as a result of a hearing that lacked any notion of fairness and due process) have other than filing a writ of certiorari? Could a complaint be pursued in a federal district court to obtain a fair hearing, and could a writ of mandamus be filed with the U.S. Supreme Court? If so, can these be combined as alternative relief in a single writ?
