She's firmly ensconced in her political job at the White House, but a group of university law professors is trying to take a shot at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway by writing a letter to the office that governs misconduct by members of the the the D.C. bar.

The letter, addressed to the office of disciplinary counsel at the board of professional responsibility at the U.S. Court of Appeals, charges Conway, who served as President Trump's campaign manager, with 'conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.'

Conway hasn't practiced law for years, and previously worked as a pollster and commentator.

'Generally speaking, we do not believe that lawyers should face discipline under this rule for public or private dishonesty or misrepresentations unless the lawyer's conduct calls into question his or her 'fitness for the practice of law,'' the 15 lawyers write, in a letter published by the Washington Post.

But the group claims that lawyers in pubic office have a 'higher responsibility' to avoid 'dishonest, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation than other lawyers.'

The letter is on the stationary of Abe Smith, a professor at the Georgetown University school of law. Other signatories are from Yale, Fordham, Duke, Hofstra, Pace, Drexel, St. Louis, and Northern Kentucky University law schools.

Conway is listed as a member of the D.C. bar under her prior name, Kellyanne Fitzpatrick.

The pint to Conway's reference in TV interviews to the 'Bowling Green Massacre,' which didn't happen. Conway explained afterward that she meant to refer to two Iraqi who got arrested here who had admitted to building explosive devices in Iraq.

The letter cites Conway's 'false statement that President Barack Obama had 'banned' Iraqi refugees from coming into the United States for six months following the 'Bowling Green Massacre.'

It also references her urging of Americans to 'go and buy Ivanka's stuff,' a statement she made on Fox News from the White House briefing room. Conway apologized for the remark and said she apologized to President Trump for it. The letter says Conway 'misused her position,' calling it a 'clear violation of government ethics rules.'

The letter also references Conway's use of the term 'alternative facts' to refer to administration claims about Trump's inaugural crowd size.

Conway invoked her legal background in a speech at CPAC Thursday, where she told a story about a seminal moment where she requested the same pay for a speaking gig as a male counterpart.

'I said, that sounds great. It'll be at the Mayflower Hotel, which I can see out my office window,' Conway said as she told the story. 'I literally was a block and half from there. They said, what is your speaking fee? And I froze.'

She continued: 'I completely froze because for me, even with my law degree at the time, for me free speech was not the First Amendment, it was let's go call Kellyanne, she'll come, she'll talk for free,' she said.

In the end, she asked for the same money and got it. The White House didn't have immediate comment.
