: Legal Ethics ForumCourt Hears Argument Today About Attorney Advice and Advertising
The Supreme Court hears argument today in Milavetz, Gallop & Milavetz, P.A. v. United States, a case challenging a provision of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act that prohibits attorneys from offering advice to incur more debt in contemplation of filing for bankruptcy and mandates a special advertising disclosure for attorneys who offer bankruptcy-related advice. Adam Liptak of the New York Times offers a nice summary of the free speech concerns at play in an article written a few months ago (featuring a quote by the Legal Ethics Forum's own Stephen Gillers) as does Marcia Coyle of the National Law Journal in an article posted yesterday.
