Judges are often charged with the ethical supervision of attorneys. The potential problem is that judges are most often attorneys themselves, and may be charged with disciplining persons who they may be familiar with.

Write an essay of 750 to 1,000 words addressing the following:

1. Explain whether it is problematic to have judges being charged with the supervision of attorneys.
2. Discuss why it is it is essential for judges to ensure that attorneys conduct themselves ethically and with integrity. Might having a Christian worldview impact the actions of judges and attorneys in regards to ethics? Explain. (comp. 4.1)
3. Apply ethical models to the potential problem of judges disciplining attorneys. Do these models support the continued paradigm of judges disciplining lawyers? Explain.

Utilize three to five relevant, scholarly sources in support of your content.
