attorney ethics

Paxton, a Republican, is challenging John Cornyn for his seat in the U.S. Senate while undergoing divorce proceedings with his wife, Angela.

In an extraordinary hearing, a federal judge testified Wednesday about a years-long case of two attorneys accused of ethical violations for watching and listening in on visits between inmates and their attorneys at Leavenworth. The first day of the hearing saw the U.S. attorney’s office in Kansas City, Kansas, described as aggressive, unprofessional and doing “virtually everything they could to thwart this investigation.”
