"Lawyers who possess information that they know is 'reasonably likely' to cause a judge to be disqualified from a case must disclose what they know, the American Bar Association says in a new ethics opinion."
"A broad coalition of lawyers and legal groups will once again accuse Pam Bondi of misconduct for using her former position to serve only Trump and not the Americans she swore to serve."
"An Australian lawyer has been sued for billing a client for 34.5 hours in a single day."
Lawyers are required to disclose information that is likely to cause a judge's disqualification from a case, according to a new ethics opinion from the American Bar Association. However, if the information is obtained through client representation, the lawyer's duty of confidentiality under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct may limit this obligation. Other legal ethics issues include allegations against Pam Bondi for misconduct and a lawsuit against a lawyer for excessive billing in one day.
