Legal Ethics odds and ends (October 20, 2010)

ADVERTISEMENTS
  • ABA Journal: Legal aid lawyers claimed that they were wiretapped by their boss. There are a variety of ethics opinions and statutes that can forbid that.
  • Using a recent appellate opinion, Matter of Cousins, as an illustration, New York Attorney Malpractice Blog looks at how the litigation industry works.
  • Bill Vorhees, at New Jersey Legal Malpractice Blog, asks why the number of cases interpreting ?claims made and reported? in legal malpractice cases has been gradually falling off.
  • Legal Malpractice Law Review looks at a new case, Roni LLC v, Afra, 2010 WL 3703047 (9/16/10), that helps define under New York law the elements of a fiduciary duty -- although this claim deals with investments rather than with lawyering.
  • Blog of the Legal Times: Mary Pat Brown is stepping down from OPR but staying at the DOJ.
  • In re Matter of Taylor (Mass): Lawyer disbarred for a variety of bad acts -- including going to jail and swapping new sneakers for his client's old sneakers.  That's one I hadn't heard before.  But few things make you feel better than nice new shoes.
