Miccosukee Tribe Files Malpractice Lawsuit Alleging Fraud
Attorneys for Miccosukee Tribe Seek to Disqualify Judge
If this story (from last week) didn’t present enough ethical issues, there are more discussed in the Miami Herald here. The article begins:

UPDATE: The paper also published a transcript of the initial hearing (not the “peace pipe” hearing) here.
