You only have 2 days left to submit comments in opposition to DOJ's rule changing how state bars can investigate alleged ethics violations by DOJ attys. Grab inspiration from our comments below but submit your own by Monday 4/06 at: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... #LegalEthics

To: Office of Attorney General
U.S. Department of Justice
Date: March 31, 2026
Re: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking – Amendments to 28 C.F.R. Part 77 (Professional
Conduct of DOJ Attorneys)
Dear Sir or Madam:
We submit these comments on behalf of Women Lawyers On Guard Action Network, Inc.
(“WLGAN”), a national organization dedicated to advancing democratic values and
promoting ethical legal practice in matters affecting public health, safety, and the rule of
law. As an organization composed primarily of lawyers, we recognize that a just and fair
society depends on all lawyers—including those who represent the government—
adhering to the highest ethical standards. Over the last ten years, WLGAN has focused
on promoting ethical legal practice in areas including professional misconduct in the legal
profession, women’s health and reproductive rights, gender and pay equity, and
adherence to the rule of law.
On March 5, 2026, the Department of Justice (“DOJ” or “Department”) published a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking titled Review of State Bar Complaints and Allegations Against
Department of Justice Attorneys. The stated rationale—preventing duplicative or
politically motivated investigations—has generated widespread and bipartisan opposition.
The breadth and consistency of that opposition reflect serious concerns about the rule’s
implications for attorney accountability and public trust. WLGAN shares these concerns
and strongly opposes the proposed rule.
Under the proposed rule, the Department would assert authority to review bar complaints
against current or former DOJ attorneys before those attorneys are permitted to
participate in state disciplinary proceedings related to their conduct in federal
proceedings. The Department could also request that state disciplinary authorities
suspend parallel investigations pending completion of the Department’s internal review.
Even more problematic is that the rule purportedly authorizes the Department to seek
suspension of ongoing s…

risks such as self-protective bias, resource constraints, or institutional reluctance to
pursue internal discipline. See Motor Vehicle Mfrs. Ass’n v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins.
Co., 463 U.S. 29, 43 (1983). In practice, the rule risks creating a de facto safe harbor in
which complaints against DOJ attorneys are never fully investigated or adjudicated, which
will erode public confidence in the integrity of federal law enforcement and other actions
by the Department.
Existing state bar disciplinary systems already include well-established mechanisms to
screen out frivolous or abusive complaints and to manage investigations responsibly. The
Department has not demonstrated that these systems are inadequate or that
extraordinary federal intervention is necessary. Instead, the proposed rule would displace
independent state judgment without articulating a reasoned basis for doing so or
considering obvious alternatives.
The proposed rule also raises serious due process concerns for complainants, state
disciplinary authorities, and the public. By conditioning state bar proceedings on an
undefined, open-ended Department “review,” the rule deprives interested parties of fair
notice, predictable procedures, and meaningful timelines. Neither the rule nor the Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking specifies objective standards governing when a complaint may
be deemed “rogue,” how long Department review may last, or what procedural protections
apply during that review.
This standardless discretion invites arbitrary decision-making and fails to provide the
minimal procedural safeguards. Where, as here, the Department’s decision to delay or
withhold review can foreclose or indefinitely postpone state disciplinary proceedings, due
process requires clear standards and enforceable limits. Their absence permits the
Department to function as both gatekeeper and interested party, heightening the risk of
biased or inconsistent outcomes and undermining confidence in the integrity of the
disciplinary …

For these reasons, the proposed rule must be withdrawn. We strongly believe that lawyer
disciplinary processes must preserve the primacy of state disciplinary authorities and
ensure that ultimate disciplinary authority remains with independent bodies. DOJ
leadership cannot be permitted to police itself.
No lawyer—and certainly no lawyer wielding the power of the federal government—
should be above the law.
Respectfully submitted,

Corrine Parver, Esq.
President, Women Lawyers On Guard Action Network, Inc.

Elaine Metlin, Esq.
Vice President of Advocacy, Women Lawyers On Guard Action Network, Inc.
