"Ernie the Attorney and the crew at ACS have been discussing whether the lawyers who filed the frivolous lawsuit against Al Franken should be disciplined. It would certainly be justified, but I don't expect to see it in my lifetime, partly because, as Carolyn Elefant of MyShingle points out, the disciplinary process is consistently biased in favor of corporate firms like Hogan and Hartson, the firm that represented Fox. Small law firms and solos--the type that more frequently represent ordinary Americans--don't get a fair shake. There appears to be widespread agreement on both the left and the right that the legal disciplinary process is broken. As ethicalESQ notes, The pro-consumer group HALT has some ideas about reforming legal discipline."
