It is a good thing that Mike Nifong’s actions in the Duke University lacrosse case are being [scrutinized by the North Carolina State Bar Association.](http://www.washtimes.com/national/20070611-104520-3391r.htm)

At the same time, it is important to remember that it’s not just about Nifong. Read [this](https://www.cato.org/2007/01/10/its-not-just-about-nifong-part-i/) and [this](https://www.cato.org/2007/01/16/its-not-just-about-nifong-part-ii/).
