Finally, an attorney's willful misconduct is when they lie or use bad methods to try to win a case.

A more thorough explanation:

Malconduct in office refers to a public officer's corrupt violation of assigned duties by malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance. It is also known as official misconduct, misbehavior in office, malconduct in office, misdemeanor in office, corruption in office, or political corruption.

Examples of malconduct in office include:

  • A police officer accepting bribes to ignore criminal activity
  • A government official using their position for personal gain

These examples illustrate how a public official can abuse their power and act in a way that is unlawful or improper. Malconduct in office undermines the public's trust in government and can have serious consequences for society.
