5 12/8/2014 Problem Sets for Ethics Hon. Martin L.C. Feldman Mary E. Howell Richard C. Stanley Lawyer has enjoyed a long and successful career as a trial attorney. Over the past 12 months, however, Lawyer s conduct has changed noticeably. Lawyer has appeared late for conferences with the court and opposing counsel, at times was unprepared for motions, and exchanged clearly inadequate inserts for a pretrial order. Has the Lawyer violated any Rules of Professional Conduct? RULE 1.1. COMPETENCE (a) A lawyer shall provide competent representation to a client. Competent representation requires the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation. (b) A lawyer is required to comply with the minimum requirements of continuing legal education as prescribed by Louisiana Supreme Court rule. (c) A lawyer is required to comply with all of the requirements of the Supreme Court s rules regarding annual registration, including payment of Bar dues, payment of the disciplinary assessment, timely notification of changes of address, and proper disclosure of trust account information or any changes therein. RULE 1.3. DILIGENCE A lawyer shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client. Has a duty to report been triggered under Rule 8.3(a)? RULE 8.3. REPORTING PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT (a) A lawyer who knows that another lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a question as to the lawyer s honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects, shall inform the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. What are the practical alternatives to address this situation? 1
6 12/8/2014 Lawyer recently went through a difficult divorce, and has doubled-down on his law practice. While his partners are delighted that his hours have increased, they are concerned that he has become unapproachable, angry and bitter. His partners have heard numerous reports from associates who have been the objects of his loss of temper and from opposing counsel who have been treated shabbily. Recently, a judge called his senior partner to inquire whether anything was wrong. Has the Lawyer violated any rule? Do the Lawyer s partners have any ethical duty in this circumstance? RULE 5.1. RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARTNERS, MANAGERS, AND SUPERVISORY LAWYERS (a) A partner in a law firm, and a lawyer who individually or together with other lawyers possesses comparable managerial authority in a law firm, shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the firm has in effect measures giving reasonable assurance that all lawyers in the firm conform to the Rules of Professional Conduct. (b) A lawyer having direct supervisory authority over another lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the other lawyer conforms to the Rules of Professional Conduct. (c) Alawyer shall be responsible for another lawyer s violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct if: (1) the lawyer orders or, with knowledge of the specific conduct, ratifies the conduct involved; or (2) the lawyer is a partner or has comparable managerial authority in the law firm in which the other lawyer practices, or has direct supervisory authority over the other lawyer, and knows of the conduct at atime when its consequences can be avoided or mitigated but fails to take reasonable remedial action. Does the Lawyer have an ethical duty to self-evaluate? RULE 1.16(a)(2). DECLINING OR TERMINATING REPRESENTATION (a) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer shall not represent a client or, where representation has commenced, shall withdraw from the representation of a client if: (2) the lawyer s physical or mental condition materially impairs the lawyer s ability to represent the client; Lawyer was always a social drinker, but now has begun to drink more heavily at functions for the firm and even at client dinners, often to the point where he is barely coherent. 2
7 12/8/2014 Has Lawyer violated a rule? What is the appropriate response of his partners or his peers? Lawyer has had a long and illustrious career, and is wellrespected by the local judiciary. As a result, he is often called upon to act as local counsel on cases of national significance. At recent court hearings, however, Lawyer seems at times confused, losing his train of thought, or lapsing into periods of awkward silence. His partners dismiss these events as minor lapses, but several judges have taken note of the problem. What can a judge do in such circumstances? What can an opposing counsel do? What are the available options? 3
8 12/8/2014 Lawyer has committed a significant error in the representation of Client who was a long-time friend, and, in addition, has mishandled a significant amount of Client s money. Another lawyer in the firm who is his dear friend learns of these facts, and tells the first Lawyer to tell his client about the mistake, but not about the money. Lawyer does so, and Client threatens to sue the firm. The firm s General Counsel gets involved, and learns that Lawyer has not disclosed the financial fraud. Due to the error, Client demands that the firm continue to work for him for free, but also sues the firm and asks for all internal communications about the case. Can the Firm continue to represent the Client? RULE 1.7(a)(2) CONFLICT OF INTEREST: CURRENT CLIENTS (2) there is a significant risk that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the lawyer's responsibilities to another client, a former client or a third person or by a personal interest of the lawyer. Are any of Lawyer s internal communications privileged? Does the Lawyer have the right to withdraw; the duty to withdraw? RULE 1.16(a) DECLINING OR TERMINATING REPRESENTATION (a) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer shall not represent a client or, where representation has commenced, shall withdraw from the representation ti of aclient if: 1) the representation will result in violation of the rules of professional conduct or other law; 2) the lawyer's physical or mental condition materially impairs the lawyer's ability to represent the client; or 3) the lawyer is discharged.. (c) A lawyer must comply with applicable law requiring notice to or permission of a tribunal when terminating a representation. When ordered to do so by a tribunal, a lawyer shall continue representation notwithstanding good cause for terminating the representation. 4
