4This site does not provide legal advice. Nothing on this site should be relied upon as legal advice for any specific situation. The exposure analysis for any specific professional in any specific proceeding requires review by qualified legal counsel with knowledge of the applicable jurisdiction and the specific facts.
5This site documents what courts have held, what bar ethics opinions have required, and what conditions create risk. It does not predict outcomes in specific cases. Where the law is unsettled, it says so. Where the answer depends on facts, it identifies the relevant facts.
6The site is updated as courts issue new rulings and as bar ethics opinions are published. Static content that does not reflect current law is corrected or removed.
