Zach Greenberg says awful things for a living. He doesn’t (necessarily) believe them.
The Philadelphia-based lawyer quotes the awful things other people say, sometimes taken from court decisions, when he gives legal presentations on controversial speech and the First Amendment.
His career, reputation and very sanity are threatened by newly amended “rules of professional conduct,” approved by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, that could get lawyers investigated and punished for the subjective offense of “manifesting bias or prejudice.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education lawyer went to court against the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Disciplinary Board and Office of Disciplinary Counsel to stop the rules from taking effect. The defendants argued Greenberg was stupid for thinking he could get in trouble under the new rules.
