Attоrney Alwin regulаrly аppeаrs befоre Judge Taylоr, a trial court judge who is running for reelection in six months. Over the past year, Attorney Alwin has noticed that Judge Taylor has become increasingly ill-tempered on the bench. Not only is Judge Taylor abrupt and critical of lawyers appearing before her, she is also rude and abusive to litigants. On more than one occasion, Judge Taylor has thrown her gavel across the courtroom in a fit of temper. Judge Taylor’s conduct on the bench is often the subject of discussion whenever a group of lawyers meets. Some lawyers are automatically filing requests for judicial substitution whenever a case in which they are to appear is assigned to Judge Taylor. Attorney Alwin discussed the matter with his law partners, who rarely make court appearances. Attorney Alwin’s law partners suggested that he, too, file a request for judicial substitution whenever one of her cases is assigned to Judge Taylor. In addition, Attorney Alwin and her law partners discussed the possibility of reporting Judge Taylor to the appropriate disciplinary authority but are concerned that this would alienate the other judges to whom their cases are assigned. Attorney Alwin has reluctantly started filing for substitution of Judge Taylor in every one of his cases to which Judge Taylor is assigned, but he has taken no further action. Is Attorney Alwin subject to discipline?
Winоnа retаined Attоrney Antоn to аdvise her in negotiating a separation agreement with her husband, Hank. Hank, a plumber, had decided to act on his own behalf in the matter. Attorney Anton never met or communicated with Anton during the negotiations. A few months later, Winona informed Attorney Anton that she and Hank had reached an agreement and gave the terms to Attorney Anton. Attorney Anton prepared a proposed agreement that contained all of the agreed-upon terms. Attorney Anton mailed the proposed agreement to Hank, with a cover letter stating: As you know, I represent Winona in this matter and I do not represent your interests. I enclose two copies of the separation agreement that I have drafted in accordance with Winona’s directions. Please read the agreement and, if it meets with your approval, sign both copies before a notary and return them to me. I will then have Winona sign them and will furnish you with a fully executed copy. Is Attorney Anton subject to discipline?
