I hate attorneys and I have an ambitious wife who's out of my league, so I'm strongly opposed to workplace sexual misconduct. That said, unless the sexual misconduct clearly and directly pertains to the honest practice of law, I don't really see the extreme punishment of disbarment as appropriate.

If you read the article, it focuses on a specific attorney who assaulted multiple clients while they were incarcerated as well as in open court.

  Of course the article focuses on an egregious anecdote. That's how propaganda works. They imply with the anecdote that it's a typical case, when the vast majority is garden variety murky workplace sexual harassment shenanigans. Not defending any harassment, but most of it isn't stuff that justifies permanently ruining the attorney's life.

    How does your out your league, overly ambitious wife feel on that matter?

As officers of the court it is appropriate to hold lawyers to a high standard. Beyond that, as the attorney-client relationship has a special place in the law the abuse of that relationship is especially egregious. Finally, as trained lawyers admitted to the bar, these lawyers fully know how egregious and awful their behavior is. They are simply sociopaths and predators.

  It's layered comedy that requires some unpacking. Gotta have a very high LSAT score to appreciate it.
