Opportunity to Comment on Proposed DOJ Rule Titled "Review of State Bar Complaints and Allegations Against Department of Justice Attorneys" (3/11/26)

A DOJ Tax Alumnus forwarded me the information below about an opportunity for Alumni to make comments to the proposed  DOJ rule titled "Review of State Bar Complaints and Allegations Against Department of Justice Attorneys." The proposed rule on the Federal Register is here

According to the Justice Connection podcast, the effect of the rule is to "block State Bar Ethics Investigations" of DOJ attorneys.  See the Justice Connection podcast titled “AG Bondi's Attempt to Block State Bar Ethics Investigations: A Discussion with Stacey Young & Glenn Kirschner,” here.

Comments are due before the April 6 deadline.

Comments can be made here.

 The Federal Register notice of the rule indicates that, as of the time I am writing this blog on 3/11/26 at 8:00pm, 27,588 comments have been received.) There is a link on the page (upper right) to view posted comments; that link is here.
