Chris Armstrong is going after Andrew Shirvell’s law license.

Armstrong, the president of the Michigan Student Assembly at the University of Michigan, today filed a misconduct complaint with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission.

Shirvell is the Michigan assistant attorney general who has been under fire for a blog in which he attacks Armstrong, the first openly gay president of the MSA.

Armstrong is seeking an investigation, discipline and possible disbarment or Shirvell, according to a news release sent by his attorney, Deborah Gordon of Bloomfield Hills.
