Hanen’s scathing order filed on May 19 accused the DOJ of a “calculated plan of unethical conduct.” He ordered that all DOJ lawyers attend a yearly ethics course. The Justice Department moved Tuesday to fight a federal judge’s order that its lawyers undergo mandatory ethics training, digging in after the DOJ was accused of misleading the courts over President Obama's immigration executive actions. In Tuesday’s filing, the DOJ estimated that the ethics training mandated would cost upwards of $7.8 million. The filing requests Hanen’s order be put on hold so federal lawyers can review. In filings Tuesday, the department said the order would "far exceed the bounds of appropriate remedies" and would cost the department millions.
