...this traditional way of thinking, the idea of litigating over an accident at sea is unimaginable. Beedie says he's been verbally attacked and told his lawsuit is "disgraceful." Alex Smith, a skipper from nearby Arbroath, says the case could spell the end of a time-honored code of conduct that requires fishermen to respect their skippers. "Suing because you are upset?" says Smith. "If they win, it will turn the whole system on its head...
...College’s focus should be on promoting alcohol safety, not conducting pointless witch-hunts against student group leaders. A much more practical way to save lives, and even prevent binge drinking from getting out of hand, would be to make the College’s amnesty policy as loose as possible.

The Texas disciplinary rules prohibit lawyers from engaging in "conduct involving...deceit." There's plenty of room to argue whether the eavesdropping program is, in fact, legal, or whether Gonzales at least believed at the time that that it was legal. But let's assume Gillers is correct. Now what...
