URBANDALE, Iowa (July 29, 2025) – The Iowa Supreme Court has issued a public reprimand against attorney Brian Jorde, citing findings by the Attorney Disciplinary Board that Jorde engaged in “misleading or deceptive” conduct during regulatory proceedings related to carbon pipeline permit applications in Iowa and South Dakota.
The disciplinary board specifically noted it was “deeply concerning” that Jorde and his staff failed to disclose additional filings to a client, actions the board described as “deceptive.”
“The disciplinary board found Brian Jorde’s conduct ‘misleading or deceptive’ in proceedings tied to these projects,” said Tom Buis, ACA CEO. “Iowans deserve to know that the loudest voice opposing this effort has now been formally disciplined by the state’s highest court.”
The public reprimand, which was filed June 19, 2025, is now part of the court’s permanent record.
