Comment to DOJ on Proposed Rule Changing Review of Bar Complaints Against DOJ Attorneys (Apr 2026)

NACDL opposes the Department of Justice’s proposed amendment to 28 CFR 77 (hereafter “amendment”). The amendment would effectively eliminate the accountability of DOJ lawyers to state bar agencies, thereby undermining the integrity of, and public confidence in, the administration of justice and the Rule of Law. Paradoxically, by effectively eliminating the accountability of DOJ lawyers to state bar agencies, the amendment would exacerbate the very issue which the DOJ advances as the rationale for the amendment: political weaponization of the law.
