But to quote Wikipedia, "In 2020 twenty-nine Nobel laureates described the actions taken by Chevron against Donziger as "judicial harassment" and human rights campaigners have described Chevron's actions as an example of a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP).[1] In April 2021, six members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus demanded that the Department of Justice review Donziger's case.[2]"
So, I'm pretty sure the headline is properly editorialized: Chevron got a Judge to put a lawyer under house arrest for continuing to legally fight Chevron in his capacity as a lawyer.
Corruption is corruption, doesn't matter the exact method of enacting it.

Surely that's not something one does in one's capacity as lawyer, and not well described as "legal".
