Legal Ethics: Understanding the Attorney Discipline System (Part Two)

Property of New Media Legal Publishing, Inc.

One of the scariest things an attorney can face is an allegation that he or she has violated the legal ethics rules or committed malpractice, and it’s not only incompetent, lazy or dodgy lawyers who get hit with misconduct complaints. In the latest program in this popular series and in part two of this program, Zach McGee provides an overview of the attorney discipline system before turning to a detailed review of two cases that were recently decided in California involving real attorneys, real findings of misconduct and real sanctions imposed to show how the attorney discipline system works in practice.
