Abstract

This Survey Article examines developments in the Indiana law of professional responsibility from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013. A few cases captured attention during the survey period with bizarre fact patterns. Readers may remember (1) the lawyer who wrote a tell-all book about a former client; (2) the lawyer who distributed flyers about “bloodsucking shylocks”; or (3) the law firm partner who sent a fake e-mail to humiliate an associate that spurned his romantic advances. These cases—and several less scandalous examples—remind all lawyers of their ethical obligations to clients, courts, and other lawyers. This Article also discusses trends in attorney discipline that may be linked to newly appointed Indiana Supreme Court Justices and Disciplinary Commission staff.
