End of the line? Firebrand suspended lawyer Eric Deters faces contempt -- and maybe jail
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky Bar Association has asked the state Supreme Court to hold suspended lawyer Eric Deters in contempt for defying the court’s orders to stop practicing law.
In an 18-page motion filed Wednesday, the bar said other than standing in front of a jury, Deters has “continued to act as a practicing attorney” despite his suspension eight years ago.
The motion says on the very day Deters was denied reinstatement last June, he told the court in a video on his “Bulldog Show” that “I don’t need a law license to make a living in law. You can’t stop me.”

Deters could be fined or even jailed if he is found in contempt, The Courier Journal reported earlier this week in a story that showed how he had masterminded two so-far unsuccessful federal lawsuits seeking to block vaccination mandates for employees at hospitals in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.
Deters said the motion is "total bull----" and that "I am not in contempt of anything."
