Fordham Law Professor Bruce Green, director of the Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics, shares his views with The Dallas Morning News after the Dallas County district attorney’s office wanted a lawyer removed from a case, arguing that his work as an ex-prosecutor disqualifies him from representing his client.
People facing death should have lawyers they are confident in, said Bruce Green, a professor and director of the Stein Center for Law and Ethics at Fordham University’s law school.
“If there’s no objection from the defendant — and they want this lawyer — and the lawyer thinks they can do a good job, then interfering in that relationship is problematic,” Green said.
