Lawyers are bound by ethical rules of the profession and also take an oath when being admitted as lawyers.

  Which the bar is not enforcing.

  Is any of that legally binding?
  • frognumber 3y ago
    Yes, but entirely unenforced. The bar acts like an old-time guild designed to protect insiders. On paper, it's intended to be self-policing (file a complaint with the Board of Bar Overseers and see it go into the circular file).

      But I mean, isn't that different than something actually being illegal, and subject to prosecution?

  > Lawyers are bound by ethical rules of the profession Those "rules" are often seen as advisory (or less) though, as they're commonly completely ignored.
