Jack B. Weinstein, Some Ethical and Political Problems of a Government Attorney, 18 Me. L. Rev. 155 (1966).
Judge Jack Weinstein's 1966 article brilliantly captures the dilemmas faced by non-federal government attorneys who strive to be ethical in their daily practice. Judge Weinstein not only analyzes the challenges, but also proposes highly principled and pragmatic solutions. It is the classic article in the field.
(Note: this article was initially presented in a speech by Judge Weinstein at the University of Maine Law Forum on April 8, 1966, in Portland, Maine. A "light read" should be sufficient to understanding Weinstein's basic - and important - points.)
