Lawyers Rank Low in Gallup's Ethical Standards Poll

Robert Ambrogi (LawSites, 12/7/2005) brings
our attention to Gallup's annual poll asking Americans
to rate the honesty and ethical standards of those in various
professions. A summary of the report, which appears
in Editor & Publisher, ranks lawyers near the bottom of
the list. Ambrogi notes, "The good news: lawyers rank
higher than senators, congressmen, labor union leaders
and car salesman. But they rank behind funeral directors,
bankers and journalists. "
