This document is an email forwarding a Law360 article from February 2019. The article discusses a DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigation into Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's handling of the 2008 Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. It highlights legislative efforts (the Inspector General Access Act) to transfer oversight of attorney misconduct from the OPR to the independent Office of Inspector General (OIG), citing the Epstein case as a catalyst for this reform due to concerns over OPR's lack of transparency and independence.
