The ABA Has Hurried To Amend The Proposed Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4

Model Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4:

The ABA in response to criticism has proposed amendments to its new rule against harassment and discrimination. The language of the rule is too broad and will create pointless discipline cases. It also will, inevitably, restrict free speech.

The State of Illinois will, inevitably, adopt some version of this dreadful rule, which can make any office argument into a professional discipline matter.

Ed Clinton, Jr.
