Professional Misconduct A lawyer having knowledge that another lawyer has committed a violation of the rules of professional misconduct that raises a substantial question as to that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects, shall NOT inform the appropriate professional authority. It is professional misconduct for one lawyer to squeal on another lawyer. If lawyers don't let other lawyers get away with breaking the rules then other lawyers won't let you break the rules. The public will never understand that lawyers must lie and cheat because that's what the public really wants. But lawyers have to pose as if lawyers are fair and honest.
All lawyers do it.
A lawyer will procrastinate as long as possible and delay matters in order to allow both attorneys to get a lot of billable hours. The attorney shall then drop the client and keep the retainer. A lawyer shall not proceed too quickly because it makes other lawyers look bad. Never settle a case until the litigants have spent every dime they have or can borrow on attorney's fees. A prosecutor shall not prosecute a lawyer for breaking the law.
