Legal Ethics Odds and Ends (October 29, 2010)

ADVERTISEMENTS
  • Rescigno v. Vesali: Georgia Court of Appeals holds that an eviction matter is not substantially related to an earlier custody matter.  You sometimes see the courts expand the "substantially related" test when the former client is a natural person and the matter involved the client's personal life.  But not here.
  • Rural Lawyer asks how the profession can get pro bono services out to the rural communities.
  • Ron Rotunda offers his views on the "robo-calls" using a recording of Justice O'Connor.
  • Daniel Schaffzin & Margaret Jackson, "Preaching to the Trier: Why Judicial Understanding of Law School Clinics is Essential to Continued Progress in Legal Education"
  • Howard K. Stern, lawyer for famous trusts-and-estate litigant and model Anna Nicole Smith, was convicted for using false names to obtain prescription drugs for Smith.
  • The Ethical Lawyer: Is Loser-Pay Coming to an End in the UK?
  • Chief Justice of Australia says that time-costing (i.e., billable hours) has gotten out of control.
  • International Law Office: in the international context, mediators ask if they are subject to the Proceeds of Crime Act, which could conceivably regulate the mediators' receipt of fees.  (I once had a lawyer tell me that because his client was a career criminal, it was a "suspicious transaction," and hence potentially reportable, when the client so much as bought a soda from a vending machine.)
