The Intersection of Legal Ethics and Politics: Where Do Lawyers Draw the Line?

In our conversation with Robert Housman, former White House Assistant Director of Strategic Planning, National Office of Drug Control Policy under President Clinton (1997–2001), we take a look at the intersection of politics and legal ethics. The ethical obligations of lawyers often conflict with what is deemed appropriate for today's politicians. The integrity of the courts, the legal system, and ultimately our democracy depends on a profession that must adhere to ethical rules of conduct. We discuss the 2020 election secret strategy memo, the torture memos, and other actions that question the boundaries of ethical behavior by lawyers.
