Worth Noting: The Market for Bad Legal Advice: Academic Professional Responsibility Consulting as an Example

In The Market for Bad Legal Advice: Academic Professional
Responsibility Consulting as an Example on SSRN, William Simon
(Columbia) criticizes ethics opinions written by prominent
academics, claiming that the scholars in question have “played
important roles as enablers of pernicious practices.”

See The Legal Ethics Forum (11/12/2007) for commentary on Simon's
article.
