Society for the Rule of Law Institute in The Hill
The Society for the Rule of Law Institute was recently featured in an opinion piece in The Hill exploring the ongoing debate surrounding Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, and his professional ethics.
The article detailed the letter the Institute sent last month to the D.C. Disciplinary Counsel, urging an investigation into Martin’s conduct.
As quoted in the piece:
Martin’s behavior at the helm of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has already alarmed many lawyers. The Society for the Rule of Law wrote to Disciplinary Counsel for the D.C. Bar on Apr. 14,, 2025, asking the Bar to review his conduct for ethical discipline. Their letter highlights Martin’s statements suggesting “he was criminally investigating perceived political enemies of himself and the president,” and questions whether he gave legal advice to a Jan. 6 defendant while serving as the interim U.S. Attorney.
