How did these lawyer 'standards' hold John Yoo to account? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Yoo

These are merely cartels to restrict competition.

John Yoo is somewhat an unusual case, and he was held to account to some degree. If you read the Office of Professional Responsibility Report section in that wikipage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Yoo#Office_of_Professiona... you'll see that he had to go through debarment hearings and was almost disbarred.

A better example of these legal standards holding lawyers to account is Prenda Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenda_Law

Honestly, I'm not sure they do a whole lot of good.
