New There's an oxymoron in there, somewhere...
Can you find it?

Here it is:
"Scott Vernick, a trial attorney who counsels and represents attorneys and law firms in legal ethics [...]"

A lawyer who counsels other lawyers in legal ethics.

Who YOU crappin'?

Sheesh!

New No oxymoron
The ethics are the enforcement of the law. If it can't be enforced against you, it is ethical.

At least to an average lawyer...*

Cheers,

* I can personally vouch for the existence of lawyers who buck the trend.
