Legal Ethics news (September 7, 2010)

ADVERTISEMENTS

  • Fittingly, the inaugural recipient of the Harry B. Sondheim Professional Responsibility Award, given by the State Bar of California, is Harry B. Sondheim.  Most recently, he's chaired the Rules Revision Commission here.
  • Here's a round-up of recent disciplinary actions by the Tennessee bar.
  • This article by Patrick Breyer (via ALM) looks at whether law school clinics enjoy attorney client privilege.  After reading the article, it's not clear to me that there is any problem that needs fixing.
  • David Addington, an influential member of the "War Council" that was at the heart of the torture memos affair, has ended up at the Heritage Foundation (Blog of the Legal Times).  Jack Goldsmith has thoughts at his new blog (with co-authors) Lawfare.
  • In the UK (TheLawyer.com), a tighter market for malpractice insurance, coupled with volatility, prompts this op-ed suggesting that policies should be voided in the case of misrepresentations by the insured firms.
  • The occupational choices of Ukranian school children: "But the statistics of the Lyceum are: one third of the graduates choose the legal profession and only 20% are going to study the technical and engineering sciences. ?15 years ago, 3 times more children wanted to get technical jobs.?
  • Barry Temkin (New York Law Journal): "Is Law Firm Discrimination Unethical?"  In a related vein, the Savannah Morning News carries a story about a district attorney accused of racial and gender discrimination.
  • Idealawg: Deception as a Legal Negotiation Strategy.  It seems that that theme is a perennial.  
  • Daily News Egypt: two lawyers sentenced to jail for physically assaulting the prosecutor.
  • Mission Free Iran has a plea for lawyers to support lawyers in Iran.  Does anyone have more information on this?  I had previously asked if their is any organization that organizes letter writing like this on behalf of lawyers.
