Description:
In the latest installment in this popular series, Zach McGee discusses the judicial and legal ethics issues that arise out of the bombshell sex scandal that one commentator called “a body blow to the integrity” of the entire bankruptcy system. The facts of this case are so sensational – a bankruptcy judge who was living and sleeping with a lawyer who regularly appeared before him, while at the same time approving fee applications for the lawyer’s legal work in those cases – they would be hard to believe if they weren’t true.
