Legal ethics stuff (August 30, 2010)

ADVERTISEMENTS

  • From California Attorneys Fees Blog: if the local rules require that you show up at a settlement conference with someone who has authority to settle, you'd better do it.  Even a public entity can be sanctioned for failure to abide by the rule -- and the attorney can get nicked as well.
  • From ALM: As more firms turn to "behavioral interviewing" (also called "competency interviewing"), will the firms probe the law students' ethics competencies?  Firms are trying to learn more about the students than is revealed simply by grades and by writing samples that may have been edited or reviewed by any number of people.  (At Indiana, we place the 1Ls in seven-person practice groups that do assignments together and evaluate each other.  The idea is to help students build their team work competencies and to realize the effects of their working styles on their peers.)
  • LA Times: "Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye moved one step closer Wednesday to becoming the first minority California chief justice, winning unanimous confirmation by a state commission." Described as a moderate Republican, she would be the first Filipina on a state high court.   
  • From Law.com: When hit with a $143 million malpractice suit for allegedly missing deadlines, McDermott filed a $491,000 counterclaim.
