Legal Ethics Items (September 20, 2010)

ADVERTISEMENTS

 

  • Statesman (Tx): Even a commercial litigator may have to run from being labeled a "trial lawyer" when running for office.
  • Clarion Ledger: Mississippi's high court is considering a proposal -- not popular with all lawyers -- requiring twenty hours of pro bono work each year.
  • H/T: Legal Profession Blog.  Ron Rotunda will give the Miller-Becker lecture, sponsored by Akron's Center for Professional Responsibility.
  • Times Record (Fort Smith): The Van Buren city attorney was was fined and reprimanded for his private practice in bankruptcy court. 
  • Salt Lake City Tribune: a proposal to strengthen rule 8.2 and suggesting that lawyers had a duty to defend the judiciary has apparently died, due in part to opposition by lawyers who argued that the rule would infringe their free speech rights.
  • Shipe v. Hunter.  The Supreme Court of Virginia held that (1) non-lawyers not representing themselves and (2) lawyers licensed elsewhere cannot sign pleadings in state court.
  • "Is it ethical?"  The ABA has opined that using recordings of bird calls to lure birds where they can be photographed is to be done sparingly if at all.  (Yes, it's a very different ABA they're discussing at that site, but it did turn up in my google alert.)
