Karst was suspended from his law practice after he falsely accused state District Judge Guy Earl Humphries, Jr. (1923-2010), of political corruption. The allegation came after Humphries ruled against Karst in several lawsuits against architect Joe Fryar in a dispute over a public housing project formerly known as "Karst Park". The bar association initiated disbarment proceedings against Karst on the grounds that his slurs against Judge Humphries constituted misconduct. In a hearing in 1981, Karst admitted that the allegations that he hurled against Humphries were false. Karst failed to be reinstated to his law practice, as the Louisiana Supreme Court denied each appeal.
