Paul Collins, Professor of Legal Studies, comments on a perceived conflict of interest involving Paul Clement, a board member of the Bradley Foundation. The foundation has been linked to funding groups that filed pro-NRA amicus briefs in gun rights cases. Questions have arisen about Clement's role in approving grants to these organizations, particularly in cases where he represented the NRA in the Supreme Court. Collins notes that while Clement may technically comply with legal rules, his actions could be seen as violating the spirit of ethical guidelines.
