At On Lawyering, Rich Cassidy reflects on why traditional norms of professionalism may embody effective lawyering.      .  .  .  .  .      On occasion, we hear arguments that legal ethics rules ought to regulate secrecy in settlements.  Over at Concurring Opinions, Daniel Solove offers thoughts, in the context of news accounts (news rumors?) of a possible deal in the impending divorce between Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren, on when if ever the law ought to enforce such obligations.  My view, for what it's worth, is that on this topic legal ethics should take a backseat to the determination of the best substantive law, driven by policy and other concerns that Solove discusses, regarding secrecy in settlements.      .  .  .  .  .      Legal Profession Blog has news about the final disposition of the affair in which an Illinois PD blogged about her cases.      .  .  .  .  .      The New York Times discusses fibbing on resumes, including some comments about a lawyer or two who've recently gotten caught.
