  • Rinehart Right: Turnbull Must Learn from Trump
    Rinehart right: Turnbull must learn from Trump Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun November 23, 2016 3:22am No minister of this Turnbull Government has welcomed the election of Donald Trump. But Gina Rinehart, the iron ore and cattle baroness, is surely right to say Trump has plenty to teach the Government - and it must follow him to save us from turning into another Greece. Mining magnate Gina Rinehart has urged the Australian government to adopt the stimulatory policies being promised by US president-elect Donald Trump or risk following Greece along an - “irresponsible’’ path of increasing government expenditure and debt. The nation’s richest woman, who recently visited Washington where she met members of Mr Trump’s campaign team — including former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway — said the Republican Party team won the election “because they listened to the people of America’’. Mrs Rinehart also took a swipe at the US media, noting the Trump team prevailed in the polls despite “constant and unrelenting negative coverage of the president-elect, including at times his loyal supporters, such as his wife, in attempts to upset the focus of the president-elect’’. “People close to the president-elect and his campaign advised that their countrymen told them they wanted, firstly, less government tape, secondly less taxation, and for the USA to grow and be economically strong again, and provide more sustainable jobs. And how exciting, this is exactly what the president-elect, and his team, are advising they want to deliver for America and its struggling economy,’’ Mrs Rinehart said in a speech delivered for yesterday’s National Mining and Related Industries Day..

REGULATION OF LAWYERS IN GOVERNMENT BEYOND THE CLIENT REPRESENTATION ROLE ELLEN YAROSHEFSKY* INTRODUCTION In February 2017, fifteen legal ethicists filed a complaint against Kellyanne Conway, Senior Counselor to the President,' alleging that a number of her pub- lic statements were intentional misrepresentations. The complaint filed in the District of Columbia, one of the two jurisdictions where Ms. Conway is admitted to practice, acknowledged that there are limited circumstances in which lawyers who do not act in a representational capacity are, and should be, subject to the anti-deceit disciplinary rules.2 The complaint stated: As Rule 8.4(c) states, "It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to [elngage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation." This is an admittedly broad rule, as it includes conduct outside the practice of law and, unlike 8.4(b), the conduct need not be criminal.

Kelly Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear General Kelly, I am writing today to seek clarification on Kellyanne Conway's role in leading the White House's efforts to fight the opioid epidemic. Earlier this week, at a Department of Justice press conference announcing "stepped up efforts to address the drug and opioid crisis,"1 Attorney General Sessions stated that the President has "asked [Conway] to coordinate and lead the effort [to combat the opioid crisis] from the White House." He also described Conway's '"total access" to the President on this issue and said he believed "her appointment represents a very significant commitment from the President himself and his White House."2 Attorney General Sessions also said Ms. Conway "is exceedingly talented," and "understands messaging." 3 According to a report by CBS news, the White House later stated that her role was "not expanding and opioids has always been part of her policy portfolio,"4 after multiple news outlets reported that she would be the White House's "drug czar."5 As you know, the opioid epidemic is one of the most important public health matters facing our country.

ATHLETES IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW: JOURNALISTIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE RESENTFUL FAN DAVID RAY PAPKE* Sports have evolved in the course of American history from local folk games to highly organized commercial enterprises in which team owners, players, broadcasters, and marketers of sports products can liter- ally earn millions.1 The increasingly sophisticated dissemination of sports news has been an important part of the evolution of sports. How- ever, in recent decades sports news has somewhat curiously come to in- clude frequent reports of athletes alleged to have committed crimes. The print media, in particular, have grown eager to describe not only what athletes accomplish on the playing courts, but also their predica- ments in the courts of law. This article explores the features, meanings and ramifications of this journalistic development. The first part of the article offers a short his- tory of sports news in America and focuses, in particular, on sports news in daily newspapers and sports periodicals.

  • The Ethics Resistance
    The Ethics Resistance BRIAN SHEPPARD* ABSTRACT Legal ethics complaints have been ®led against several of the high-ranking lawyers in the Trump Administration, often in their home states. While individ- ual complaints have caught the public eye, the collective movement to use legal ethics to resist Trumpism has escaped attention. This is not altogether surpris- ing: legal ethics rules have not historically been an attractive tool for political change. Perhaps, desperate times have called for desperate measures. This ªEthics Resistanceº will face signi®cant opposing forces. Legal ethics complaints seldom result in punishment. Further, the agencies that are asked to investigate these high-pro®le and controversial matters will not be eager to leave their comfort zones; they are accustomed to complaints from clients who are unhappy with their lawyers over straightforward matters like unreturned phone calls or high fees. There will also be loud dissenting voices from those who will see the movement as the weaponization of a tool designed for the mod- est task of lawyer self-governance. Finally, the complaints will have to navigate between powerful constitutional protections regarding lawyer speech and fed- eral power. But we should not dismiss this movement simply because it is unusual or challenging. The wisdom of the Ethics Resistance can only be judged after we understand its distinctive qualities and consider how they further or hinder our legal, institutional, and pragmatic interests. In this Article, I undertake that analysis and conclude that the movement has the capacity to be legally permissible, institutionally sound, and prudent. I fur- ther offer a list of best practices for future complaints.
