So, you may recall back in October 2017 I had an itch and intended to write about a lawsuit in Pennsylvania that would fit in with the recent (seemingly) increased willingness of lawyers to sue other lawyers over their ads, but since I was beaten to the punch, instead I gave you a pointer to […]
I have been meaning to do this and am long overdue in getting to it, but you might recall back in the summer of 2017 when I wrote pretty extensively about the contents of the Oregon Futures Task Force Report, and its positive proposed changes to the ethics rules. If you don’t, you can read […]
It’s a new year and, of course, for many that means a time of reflection and goal-setting and much talk of how the new year will be different from the prior year. I will spare you much of that because you can find that all over the Internet. I am prompted to post today (in […]
My last post was filled with criticisms related to the roll out of a new ABA Ethics Opinion.

In the middle of Roadshowing (short break until the next stops next week) and also still trying to handle client matters to boot, so this will be a quick post. (If you are here next week looking for the Roadshow playlist, just keep scrolling down as it can be found in the post immediately below […]
If you aren’t in attendance at any of the Ethics Roadshow events, then this post won’t really make much sense. So, apologies. But maybe you should make an effort to attend next year? Just saying…
