she’s definitely getting disciplined by the FL bar for various conduct

but can a judge sanction an attorney when that attorney technically hasn’t appeared before them since they legally can’t?

I don't see how the judge can do shit since the premise is that the attorney can't even file an appearance. I'd just tell the FL bar to get this hallucinating psycho out of my courtroom

That’s why it’s an unclassified misdemeanor in New York for the unauthorized practice of law. Random dudes used to walk in from the street pretending to be lawyers then judges would say “I hereby sanction you!!…oh wait you aren’t even a member of the bar.” So they had to make it a crime lol.
