A
flurry
of
stories
hit
the
legal
world
all
at
once
last
week,
with
the
government
responding
to
another
ICE
killing
in
Minnesota
by…
arresting
journalists
and
dumping
Epstein
files.
And
while
the
Epstein
files
don’t
represent
the
entire
universe
—
or,
perhaps,
even
the
most
relevant
files
about
Epstein’s
dealings
—
they
have
set
off
downstream
shockwaves
in
the
legal
industry.
Meanwhile,
another
judge
learns
that
we
frown
upon
judges
arbitrarily
handcuffing
lawyers.
Finally,
it’s
time
for
the
profession
to
come
together
behind
helping
our
self-regulators
hold
Trump
administration
lawyers
accountable.
The
ethical
breaches
keep
adding
up
and
while
there’s
never
going
to
be
the
warranted
criminal
law
reckoning,
we
can
at
least
make
sure
our
profession
is
protected
by
disbarring
all
these
administration
lawyers
getting
caught
affirmatively
lying
to
courts…
and
worse.
