His sensitivity to conflicts of interest is about as good as his public relations sense. Starr could hardly be deeper in conflicts of interest if he tried for them. Incidentally, Professor Monroe Freedman, the nation's leading authority on conflicts, agrees that Starr is up to his eyeballs and beyond in conflicts.

Legal ethics is a joke.
The American Bar Association and other legal organizations can't be taken seriously on ethical issues. There has been no great outcry from legal organizations or law professors. Even the Democrats in Congress have not fully and forcefully made the conflict of interest case against Ken Starr. The national media have largely ignored the conflict of interest questions and the other unprofessional and illegal acts of Starr. As recipients of leaks from Starr, the media doesn't want to blow the whistle on their benefactor.
