Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams had a bright future in front of him as a former rising star once considered to be a contender for mayor, or even governor. Now his future, and his freedom, will be put in the hands of a jury weighing the facts in his federal corruption case.

I feel like I'm caught is some weird, warped time loop — reliving, again and again, spectacular lawyer self-destructions. The last few weeks brought press reports of guilty pleas from several of our brethren. Change the names, and they could be any one of many, many I've seen before.

Contra Costa County District Attorney Mark Peterson resigned from office Wednesday, shortly before he pleaded no contest to a felony perjury charge. He was the first district attorney in decades to face removal from office in a proceeding initiated by a civil grand jury. In recent years, a number of elected prosecutors have found themselves under serious professional scrutiny.

An exploration of the options for protecting client privacy and promoting professional responsibility when attorneys engage in online activity.
By Joel Cohen | June 12, 2017
In his Ethics and Criminal Practice column, Joel Cohen writes: Some defense attorneys (usually on the fringe and more so years ago) have been willing to "bait" judges. They engage the (prosecution-friendly?) judge and cause him to react, creating a palpable bias against counsel and client—a deliberate ploy to create sympathy, or justify recusal. Or these attorneys try their case, in part, by confronting the judge, particularly when the jury is seated, in a manner designed to induce error. But what about when recusal is warranted—can a failure to move constitute "ineffective assistance"? Consider the disturbing facts of a recent Third Circuit case.
