Legal Malpractice In Washington: Use Of The Rules Of Professional Conduct, Angelo Tadrous Aug 2026

Legal Malpractice In Washington: Use Of The Rules Of Professional Conduct, Angelo Tadrous

Seattle University Law Review

Legal malpractice claims are difficult to prove. They are difficult to prove because many jurisdictions require that a plaintiff prove that, but for the lawyer’s misconduct, the client would have fared better. Thus, in a malpractice suit, a plaintiff must try a case within a case. Despite this difficulty, many jurisdictions prohibit the use of the Rules of Professional Conduct when litigating a malpractice case. Washington State is one of these jurisdictions. The Washington Supreme Court held in Hizey v. Carpenter that the Rules of Professional Conduct may not be referred to during trial. This Note argues that this prohibition …

Placebo Ethics, Usha Rodrigues, Mike Stegemoller

While there are innumerable theories on the best remedy for the current financial crisis, there is agreement on one point, at least: increased transparency is good. We look at a provision from the last round of financial regulation, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which imposed disclosure requirements tailored to prevent some of the kinds of abuses that led to the downfall of Enron. In response to Enron's self-dealing transactions, Section 406 of SOX required a public company to disclose its code of ethics and to disclose immediately any waivers from that code the company grants to its top …

An Assessment Of The Impact Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act On The Investigation Violations Of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Karen Cascini, Alan L. Delfavero

WCBT Faculty Publications

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, a plethora of corporate scandals occurred. Due to these corporate debacles, corporate executives have been placed under fire. In response to such unethical conduct with regard to internal practices and financial reporting, legislation has been passed in order to ensure that corporations conduct their business in an ethical manner. The purpose of this paper is to assess the connection between the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOx), to determine whether SOx has influenced the FCPA’s investigative violation activities by examining the number of such investigations …


The Role Of A Lawyer's Morals And Religion When Counseling Clients In Bioethics, Joseph Allegretti Jan 2002

The Role Of A Lawyer's Morals And Religion When Counseling Clients In Bioethics, Joseph Allegretti

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article examines how a lawyer may handle conflicts that arise when counseling clients on bioethics issues. Through an exploration of three standard client counseling models - authoritarian, client-centered and collaborative - the author presents suggestions on how to handle a conflict between the lawyer's own moral and religious values and the choices available to the client. The author suggests that lawyers are not barred from incorporating their own values as long as they communicate that decision to the client.
