As if “failure to warn” was a defense in an ethics case involving a (theoretically) sophisticated defendant. Of course, when a West Virginia Supreme Court Justice can claim there is no appearance of impropriety while reducing the judment against a corporation responsible for the majority of his re-election campaign contributions, the standard for ethical conduct must be very low indeed.

I’d like to know that, too. How bad are these judges that they let an attorney get away with conduct that is potentially a disciplinary violation?
