Last week, the legal ethical standards were in the spotlight, particularly in light of notable developments involving prosecutors and law firms. A contentious Supreme Court decision ordered a new trial for Oklahoma's Richard Glossip after evidence of prosecutorial misconduct surfaced. Additionally, KPMG has received court approval to establish a U.S. law firm, signaling a significant shift in the accounting firm's legal capabilities. These stories highlight the ongoing challenges and changes within legal ethics, as well as the responsiveness of legal systems to scrutiny and reform.
