Thank you for that — it's a shame someone belonging to the same professional group as you advised King to do something stupid and provocative. I really wish sanctions from Bar associations were stronger when it comes to empowering large clients to bully others in spite of common sense.

I don't know that I would agree that this should be an issue against those practicing law. While I think we can all agree that its unethical, it is within the law as it is now. We could go on all day blaming the lawyers, but they are not the source of the problem. Only one of many results of a system that has its flaws.

Members of bar associations are often required to follow a set of ethics.

Doing unethical (but legal) is already something that bar associations will sanction against. The only question is what each bar association consider unethical.
