Grownups in Charge

I have a few comments to make regarding the editorial “A Front-Row Seat” in the January 30 edition.

As one of the many who consider “legal ethics” oxymoronic, I wonder what behavior could possibly be outrageous enough for fellow attorneys to have sanctioned John Leonard [“Democratic Candidate Acknowledges Past Law License Suspensions,” 27east.com, January 24].
