The American legal profession regulates itself — a privilege granted on the assumption that the profession will use regulatory power to protect the public rather than its own interests. That assumption is increasingly difficult to defend. State bar discipline systems dismiss the overwhelming majority of complaints without investigation. Judicial conduct commissions conduct proceedings in secret and rarely impose meaningful sanctions. The legal profession's response to AI is to impose disclosure requirements on attorneys while exempting judges from the same requirements. The Ethics Reporter covers the growing movement for legal ethics reform — the academics, advocates, and policymakers pushing for structural changes to attorney discipline, judicial accountability, and access to justice. We examine reform proposals through the lens of the public interest, asking whether the changes being proposed would actually make the legal system more accountable, more accessible, and more just.
