"ghostwriting" pleadings for a pro se litigant violates a lawyer's ethical duty
of candor to the court has caused an uproar loud enough to get a New Jersey
Supreme Court ethics committee's attention. In a formal opinion meant to calm
nerves, the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics says it's ethical, in
limited circumstances, for a lawyer to draft pleadings and give other
"unbundled" legal assistance to pro se parties without telling the court.
