#LegalEthics Tidbit: If I tell my client to lie to the court and she refuses, have I engaged in deceptive conduct?

A VA lawyer told his client their case would benefit from a continuance, so he advised her to feign an illness and lie to the court about it in order to get a continuance. The lawyer advised her also to lie to her doctor: “say ‘I’ve been pooping my butt off and I’ve been throwing up… and they’ll give you some nausea ... (cont.)

As many of you know already, I am especially interested in the use of #consumerProtection statutes to ground suits against irresponsible sales and marketing by member of the gun industry. In #WashingtonState, the state legislature and state AG #BobFerguson have been using this approach to deal with large capacity magazines. 1/2 #LawFedi #gunViolence #ConsumerProtection

For anyone just arriving:

I am a (#gay / #lgbt / #lgbtq) 🌈 #attorney from #Madison #Wisconsin.

I handle #prosecution, but also #parking, #CivilRights, #ordinance and #contract drafting, #tax, and #municipal law.

I post about the #SupremeCourt / #SCOTUS and #law / #lawfedi news and discussions, #politics both in the us (#uspol / #uspolitics) and abroad, and especially on #Ukraine / #Russia.

And I adore #electronic #music and #videogames, #podcasts, and #books.

#new #introduction

And before anyone says "but look at the outcome in #MooreVHarper" note - the Court decided the Constitution did not immunize legislatures from their courts. A justice who wants to undo court reform legislation would have no problem squaring that circle.

#LawFedi #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS #ConLaw #ConstitutionalLaw #CourtReform #ExpandtheCourt

Here’s an accessible, clear analysis of the Supreme Court decision in #MoorevHarper, succinctly explaining how state constitutions as interpreted by state courts will continue to constrain wild efforts by state legislatures to interfere with rights to ballot access. From @democracydocket, https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/breaking-down-the-supreme-courts-opinion-rejecting-a-fringe-undemocratic-theory/. #LawFedi #Voting #democracy

I've read #MooreVHarper, and am pleased the "Independent State Legislature" doctrine was rejected.

But other than dry legal arguments, I've not seen discussion from proponents as to *why* they think it is good public policy to give politicians the power to negate elections they disagree with.

If we claim to live in a Constitutional Republic, how can anyone with a straight face argue that the VP *should have* the power to negate single-handedly the results of a presidential election, or that a state legislature *should have* the power to set aside elections?

If our Constitution truly allowed elections to be negated that easily, our system would be little better than China or the former Soviet Union. The fact that two of our justices value democracy so little that they would allow that is concerning.

#SCOTUS
#LawFedi

Kavanaugh and Barrett blinked.

The decisions from which Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas are the dissenters are the best decisions we can get from this Supreme Court. #LawFedi #MooreVharper

Oh, wow, they went there:

"There is also good reason to believe that the Plaintiff and its law firm have agreed to pursue this case on a contingent fee basis, and that such arrangement may have motivated the improper conduct identified herein."
