The allegations and admissions of professional misconduct and criminal conduct by the Trump lawyers in these election challenges and other litigation, coupled with examination of their professional profiles, state Rules of Professional Conduct, the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and data on discipline of attorneys suggest that market incentives and structural weaknesses in current legal education and in the practice environment might encourage or, at least, leave ample room for misconduct.

    Any lawyer who represents Trump should have their head examined. He lies to them, blames them when the lies don’t work, and then stiffs them on the bill. It’s just stupid to represent him. The really good lawyers already know this and decline representation. The ones who stupidly take his cases get what they deserve.
