I wonder what the judges' law clerks think since the clerks are usually fresh out of law school, see a lot of these shady filings, and then have to draft the judges' opinions.This post of yours could have supported a thread of its own, Paul84.
I agree with you that Schiltz's article is an interesting one. What he writes reflects accurately the lives of many attorneys I know, especially those who have worked at large law firms for an extended period of time.
Some attorneys will learn that money is a poor trade-off for their health and their personal happiness - unfortunately, these attorneys often learn it only after their lives have spiraled out of control.
As to your question, I like to believe that judges do not discount unethical behavior.
