Professor Michael S. McGinniss Publishes New Article on Lawyer Discipline and the Rule of Law
New article in the Independent Law Journal examines the intersection of professional discipline, political resistance, federalism, and the separation of powers.
Congratulations to Michael S. McGinniss, Professor of Law and J. Philip Johnson Faculty Fellow, on the publication of his recent article, “Lawyer Discipline as Political ‘Resistance’: Separation of Powers, Federalism, and the Rule of Law,” in the Independent Law Journal.
In his article, Professor McGinniss examines concerns about the use of lawyer disciplinary processes for political and ideological purposes. He considers the implications for the legal profession and the role of courts, disciplinary authorities, and the law in addressing these challenges, with particular attention to the principles of separation of powers, federalism, and the rule of law.
