Date: June 26th, 2017 1:43 PM Author: Alcoholic Location Friendly Grandma Because the large majority of people who clerk for A-3 judges actually think law is a noble profession and not a steaming pile of garbage. They're all gunners who everybody hated. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3658751&forum_id=2#33644952) |

Maintaining The Integrity Of The Profession Rule 8.2 Judicial And Legal Officials
(a) A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory officer or public legal officer, or of a candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office.
[1] Assessments by lawyers are relied on in evaluating the professional or personal fitness of persons being considered for election or appointment to judicial office and to public legal offices, such as attorney general, prosecuting attorney and public defender. Expressing honest and candid opinions on such matters contributes to improving the administration of justice. Conversely, false statements by a lawyer can unfairly undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.
[3] To maintain the fair and independent administration of justice, lawyers are encouraged to continue traditional efforts to defend judges and courts unjustly criticized.
