It occurred to me last night that the various state Bar Associations may have a role to play in the upcoming elections. We’ve been warned that if Trump finds himself on the short end of the electoral stick he may sue, claiming electoral fraud.
But such litigation must take place at the state level because that’s who is responsible for administering the election. Therefore, local lawyers must be employed to file the papers.
I suggest that the state Bar Associations should send out a reminder to all members that bringing suit without objective evidence of a mislead is a transgression against the professional standards of the profession, and that could lead to their disbarment, and thus their ability to earn a living as a lawyer.
Any lawyers out there want to confirm or deny the accuracy of my suggestion? Or even that it’s already happened?
