Law Prof: I May File Law School Ethics Charges

Feb. 22 (Bloomberg Law) -- Ben Trachtenberg, an associate professor at University of Missouri School of Law who has written about law schools misrepresenting incoming student GPAs, LSAT scores and graduate employment data, says he may file legal ethics complaints with state bars against those who allegedly published the bogus data. "Almost every day when I get up, I have to wonder is today the day I'm going to break down and file a complaint" with state bar ethics panels, he tells Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia. Trachtenberg would prefer ethics charges be filed by the schools that employed those who published the bogus data. "It's getting to be a little nuts that the folks who really know what's going on aren't doing anything about it," he says.
