Dоnаld, the оwner оf Desert Cаsino, hired Attorney Tim to represent Desert Cаsino's interests during the current session of the state legislature. Donald asked Attorney Tim to testify before a legislative committee that was investigating the effect of gambling upon minors, and Attorney Tim agreed to do so. Attorney Tim obtained information from Donald about the number of minors who had been found illegally gambling in at Desert Casino during the past five years. Attorney Tim prepared written remarks and included Donald's information in an appendix. Attorney Tim testified and answered questions about Desert Casino's experience with youth gambling. After Attorney Tim's appearance, but before the committee had completed its findings or proposed any new legislation, Attorney Tim discovered that Donald had dramatically underreported the number of minors found illegally gambling during the past five years. When Attorney Tim confronted Donald and urged Donald to correct the erroneous information, Donald directed Attorney Tim not to disclose the correct information to the legislative committee. Attorney Tim believed that he was constrained to follow Donald's direction and did not correct the information he had provided to the committee.Is Attorney Tim subject to discipline?

Attоrney Lоyst represented Plаintiff Juliа in а state law emplоyment discrimination lawsuit against defendant Circle Company. The court dismissed Plaintiff Julia's claim with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Circle Company's lawyer believed that Attorney Loyst had not conducted an adequate factual or legal investigation before filing the complaint. Although Circle Company could have sought sanctions against Attorney Loyst, Circle Company could recover more of the legal expenses it had incurred in obtaining dismissal of the lawsuit by suing Attorney Loyst in a separate negligence action. As a result, Circle Company's lawyer filed a negligence action against Attorney Loyst rather than a motion for sanctions. Circle Company's lawyer is confident that she can prove that Attorney Loyst failed to use reasonable care to investigate Plaintiff Julia's claim before filing the lawsuit against Circle Company.Is Attorney Loyst likely to be subject to civil liability to Circle Company in the negligence action?
