Attorney General Raúl Labrador continually loses court cases due to his own lack of legal skill, writes Tom Arkoosh. Then he attacks the judge. | Opinion
Idaho lawyers are expected to act with respect, dignity, and candor toward judges and the court system. They are presumed to understand that a “correct” interpretation of the law is often uncertain. Judges have the job of deciding the law in cases brought before them. Most often, one litigant wins and the other loses. If every loser’s lawyer made unfounded public utterances against the presiding judge, it would be extremely corrosive of the rule of law.
GUEST COMMENTARY: Attorney General Labrador stepped over the line when he falsely made over-the-top, alarmist charges against federal Judge Lynn Winmill.
