State Supreme Court Regulation of Professional Ethics
Hazard, Geoffrey
Hazard, Geoffrey
Abstract
The, primary regulatory authority of the states over the legal profession is historically grounded and institutionally secure. There have been and will continue to be conflicts with the federal government over certain aspects of that reguJatory,authority. This is an inevitable aspect of our federal system. After all, inasmuch as there are conflicts between state and federal authority in the regulation of business, the environment, welfare and education, to say nothing of tax policy, how could we expect there would not be parallel conflicts concerning regulation of the legal profession?
