THE SENATE LEGAL COUNSEL Interview #1 Tuesday, December 2, 2003 RITCHIE: This year is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Ethics in Government Act that set up the office of the Senate Legal Counsel. [The Act was signed into law on October 26, 1978 as part of Public Law 95-521. The Legal Counsel and his or her office handle legal matters and litigation on behalf of the Senate. It is basically the in-house law firm that represents and defends the constitutional powers of the Senate, and the separation of powers upon which our government system is based.] Since you were very much involved in that, I wondered if you could tell me something about its origins, and how you got involved? LUDLAM: First, let me explain the reasons why I’m presenting this oral history of my public service career. Some who read this oral history may be interested in how the Senate Legal Counsel office was established. I will provide here an insider’s view of how it happened. A few weeks ago I met with the staff of the Senate Legal Counsel office to brief them on the origins of their office.
