Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 10:48 pm
Are there any ethical issues with talking to one of the attorneys about the same case that is the topic of my note?

Your assumptions may be correct. My note, however, will be 100% ethical because it could possibly be scrutinized.akg144 wrote:Considering your name is smutmonger something makes me think ethics isn't exactly your forte

If its kosher, I would like to talk specifically about the case and any ideas that the attorney has on what he thinks I should write about.Ohiobumpkin wrote:+1.akg144 wrote:Considering your name is smutmonger something makes me think ethics isn't exactly your forte
As to your question, it depends on what exactly you talk about. Your question is a little too vague on facts for any of us to provide any more meaningful of a response than akg144 provided.
If it is an ongoing case, she/he will likely not be ethically able to discuss it with you. If the case is not ongoing, you will likely have no issues talking to the attorney about the case unless there are confidentiality concerns. Again, it depends on what you ask him/her.smutmonger wrote:If its kosher, I would like to talk specifically about the case and any ideas that the attorney has on what he thinks I should write about.Ohiobumpkin wrote:+1.akg144 wrote:Considering your name is smutmonger something makes me think ethics isn't exactly your forte
