Law professors file misconduct complaint against Kellyanne Conway

A group of law professors from around the country has filed a professional misconduct complaint against White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, a graduate of George Washington University Law School who was admitted to the D.C. Bar in 1995.
The letter, filed with the office that handles misconduct by members of the D.C. Bar, said Conway should be sanctioned for violating government ethics rules and conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation, the letter says.
The 15 professors, who specialize in legal ethics, cite several incidents, including a television interview in which Conway made the false statement that President Barack Obama had banned Iraqi refugees from coming into the United States for six months following the Bowling Green Massacre, and the use of her position to endorse Ivanka Trump products.
We do not file this complaint lightly, the professors said in their filing. We believe that, at one time, Ms. Conway, understood her ethical responsibilities as a lawyer and abided by them. But she is currently acting in a way that brings shame upon the legal profession.

(26,293 posts)I mean sure should she try to renew it somewhere then it should be a factor in her attempt to try and reacquire it but right now I am not sure if an attempt would even work as couldnt they decline to hear any case on the grounds that she doesnt have a current one anyway?

My question is WHY would she not pay her annual dues? It's not like she can't afford it. Maybe it's just that she's lazy and careless.
I have a professional license and I will never let it lapse or be suspended for any reason. It took a huge amount of work and study and money to pass the exam in the first place.

(26,293 posts)Maybe she simply thought it would be a waste of money to keep paying dues if she was earning more money doing something unrelated to practicing law.

Every organization needs to censure them or take the appropriate steps to ensure that the honor of their respective fields is upheld.
