Mark DuBois retired the other day. He did so without fanfare, simply walking away from state service and back into private practice. I am sorry to see him go. Although he was the state’s top cop for policing lawyers, and therefore at least a potential foe on any given day, he brought a measure of good sense and realism to the job of chief disciplinary counsel.

The Judicial Branch should avoid the temptation to replace him with a zealot, although I understand that may well be the desire on the part of judges eager to police the bar.
