The article by David Hricik addresses the complex nuances surrounding a lawyer's duty to acknowledge mistakes. It outlines how jurisdictions differ in their interpretation of this obligation—some focus on the need to keep clients informed, while others incorporate conflict-of-interest considerations. Hricik emphasizes the significance of these distinctions since they directly influence the determination of whether a breach has occurred. The paper also discusses the necessity of communicating with legal carriers and reviews relevant cases that underscore these duties.
