Utah needs an attorney ethics law

 

Editor,                                           

As the Utah Legislature convenes for its 2013 session, and at a time when our attorney general is embroiled in allegations of misconduct, it’s  time to pass an attorney ethics law. Though others can be charged with criminal perjury and contempt for lying to a judge, Utah attorneys--not “sworn in” in court hearings--can lie with impunity, because there are simply no laws to enforce their honesty.
