ARE LAWYERS SHACKLED BY ANTIQUATED ETHICS RULES?
My friend Micah Buchdahl writes in the National Law Journal that it's time to revisit the arcane rules that govern the legal profession. He concludes
What exactly am I advocating here? Let ambulance-chasing lawyers run amok? Isn't that the real image and concern behind these arcane rules? Open the floodgates with distasteful and unprofessional billboards, Web sites and commercials? No — just let law firms market the way nearly every other business does. There are state and federal regulations that address consumer fraud and misleading claims. Let them deal with it. Many lawyers and law firms are trying to survive and prosper. The very people who should be helping them should start thinking about not being obstacles to their ability to earn a living. (Some) people are smart. They know the difference between a commercial and the news. I think they can figure it out.
