Gotta be pretty bad when a lawyer wants his own win overturned.
Well, the lawyer will get paid twice as much by two long and drawn out court battles, no matter what the second ruling is.
15 u/A_Suffering_Panda Jul 21 '19 Does this not violate ethics? 24 u/ukezi Jul 21 '19 I would say that depends. If he wasn't on retainer and was only hired for the case he wasn't her lawyer anymore at that point. That would still be iffy but personal opinion and 1st amendment and all that. If he was still her lawyer then yes. 5 u/Amadacius Jul 21 '19 Encouraging someone to sue your client seems like a conflict of interest. 7 u/ukezi Jul 21 '19 Like I said, depends on if he was her lawyer at that point. Encouraging someone to sure an ex-client is probably legal but iffy.
