When Your Rival Becomes Your Dance Partner: Mary Carter Agreements In Missouri Courts, Thomas G. Pirmantgen
Missouri Law Review
Mary Carter agreements2 occur when a plaintiff asserting liability against joint tortfeasors 3 enters into a settlement agreement with less than all of the defendants.

However, judges should be able to expect lawyers to disclose information about procedural matters. This Article argues that Model Rule of Professional Conduct 3.3 should be amended to require disclosure of information about procedural matters. Part I describes the events in Potter v.
