Judge Mappy-Morgan on Monday said Cllrs. Tiawon Gonglo, Philip Gonglo and Momolu Kendakai all of the Gonglo and Associate Law Firm will spend 20 days in jail.
According to the Judge, the lawyers refused to properly advise their client in the ongoing case involving Amos Brosius and the Monrovia Oil Trading Company.
Judge Mappy-Morgan said the unethical behavior of the three men to properly advise their client has brought the court and her character to public disrepute.
The Judge said a case pending before a court should not be discussed outside of courtrooms by the parties, adding that the counselors watched their client go about discussing the case thereby creating public sentiment.
Brocius accused Judge Mappy-Morgan of diverting more than 2 million to her personal account.
Brocius is expected to appear in court Wednesday.
Meanwhile, several Liberians in solidarity of Amos Brocius, during the ongoing trial on Monday staged a peaceful protest at the grounds of the Temple of Justice.
The Spokesman of the protesters, Samuel McGill called for a speedy trial involving Brocius.
