ABA Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.3 and its many state counterparts require lawyers to inform the appropriate professional authority once a lawyer "knows" another lawyer has engaged in certain professional misconduct. Knowledge of such violations can vary depending on the relationship between the lawyers in question. This program will consider the provisions of Model Rule 8.3 and an attorney’s obligations to report another attorney or judge to the appropriate regulatory authority. The speaker will discuss when specific reporting is triggered, the consequences of acting or failing to act, and best practices for taking effective action. The speaker will also explore what information is reported and to whom, the duty to self-report his/her/their own misconduct or that of an associate, and duties to report an impaired or suspended, disbarred or out-of-state lawyer.
