Speaking of
Third-year law students Abraham Gutnicki and Adam Dulik recently were featured on a national broadcast of NBC News Nightside debating whether President Clinton should face disbarment in the midst of the ongoing Monica Lewinsky saga. Gutnicki argued that Clinton, a member of the Arkansas bar and former Arkansas attorney general, should be disciplined by the Arkansas bar for violating the professional rule that prohibits lawyers from engaging in "conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." Dulik argued against disciplining Clinton.
