Good points - I don't really know what crosses the line about loopholes in environmental laws, but agree in principle that it's an "eye of the beholder" thing, usually.

The McGreevy resignation is another good case in point. I don't like the political effects of his delaying the effective date of his resignation, but if it's legal, so what?

Things like this only matter if you are contemplating a long relationship where cooperation from the other side is necessary for your goals.

I am looking forward to an upcoming seminar, "Ethics for Bankruptcy Attorneys Taught by Bankruptcy Judges." You may have heard some lawyers scoff at getting a bad reputation among judges, but they never scoff about judges thinking they are unethical. Being thought of as abrasive, overbearing, overaggressive, this is tolerable, but being thought of as sleazy and untrustworthy is not tolerable.

Pushing the envelope can backfire if you get a reputation for being untrustworthy.
