Presidential Ethics: Should a Law Degree Make a Difference?
Nancy B. Rapoport William S. Boyd School of Law, UNLV Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics, Vol. 14, p. 725, 2001 Abstract: Two of the nation's most controversial presidents, Nixon and Clinton, were both lawyers, and both of them had ethics-related problems while in office. This essay reviews whether any model ethics rules force lawyer-presidents to behave at a higher standard than non-lawyer-presidents; then it discusses the implications for legal education if we really do want lawyers to go above and beyond the norm of behavior.
Keywords: Clinton, Nixon, professional responsibility, president, lawyer, attorney Accepted Paper SeriesDate posted: February 15, 2001 ; Last revised: January 11, 2007Suggested CitationContact Information
