Between 2004 and 2011, I directed a semester long Washington, DC, program for law students. The program was a joint effort of @ACLJ and @RegentLaw. I taught a 3 hour substantive course on advanced constitutional law and an hour course on legal practice.
Under my supervision, participating students also completed an internship program in which they drafted pre-litigation memoranda, complaints, motions, briefs, engaged in a practice deposition, and a practice oral argument.
@RegentLaw ultimately approved student participation in the program I devised as satisfying both their upper level writing and oral advocacy requirements.

One day, as we were talking about ethics issues, the topic of ghost-writing came up.
Mind you, there's a lot of ghost writing in the legal world (ask any student writer that ever didn't get credit from noted #plagiarist @tribelaw).
What I didn't expect is for one of my students to respond with a question whether his having ghost-written #sekulow's doctoral dissertation constituted an unethical act.

Knock me over with a feather. I mean, I'd written Jay's statements in press releases from 1989 to 1993.
But I always submitted those quotes to #trumpsattorney for his approval.

I never wrote a doctoral dissertation for him.

I was truly dumbfounded!
