This is one of the things that is wrong with America. Everyone has to be too politically correct. The OP meant nothing racist or degrading about this. He simply used the nomenclature.cron1834 wrote:Dude, not the preferred nomenclature.

1) I'm often being purposefully inciting so I can't complain
2) I think he's making a Big Lebowski reference. The dood abides.

Ironic. Posters attempt to throw in a few light-hearted Big Lebowski references, and then a sanctimonious poster goes on a "this is one of the things wrong with America" mini-rant.

Re: Are all former client (from former firm) conflicts curable by using chinese firewall
i don't think it's quite that simple. the clients have to agree, as far as I know,and they don't always unless the partner strong arms them. But maybe each firm is different ?

My guess is it requires a waiver if only as a precaution to protect yourself and your firm. You don't need this as an issue later. I'm not an expert though.
Someone at the firm or the new firm should be expert on this. No one wants to get thrown out on a case because a lawyer didn't get the client to waive.
If you are junior enough they probably won't care or want to hinder your career.

Ethics wall--that's good. Didn't know about the alternative.Anonymous User wrote:I've only heard ethics wall the past two summers, sorry about the PUSSIFICATION bra.seespotrun wrote:It's the only nomenclature through.
I said chinese wall on a call this summer and wondered out loud whether that was still appropriate and whether there was a better term to use. My co-counsel (a partner there) and I chuckled about it and concluded that of course it was appropriate. It's the greatest wall there is or ever has been. You can see it from space. Referencing it's geographic location shouldn't hit any sensitive nerves. I imagine that's what people mean when they say white privilege.

I've had this same issue before. I would read your state's particular PR rules on duties to former clients. You can start with the ABA Model Rules: http://www.americanbar.org/groups/profe ... ients.html
Also, you don't have someone from your firm you can ask this?
