What i learned in legal ethics...

1) Don't sleep with your clients...unless you were sleeping with them before.

2) Don't bribe, lie, cheat, or steal, or help other people bribe, lie, cheat, steal.

3) Only in California can you obtain the rights to your client's story before the case is over. Have to get those rights fast so the made-for-tv movie is ready by the time the trial is over.

4) I can write my Mom/Dad's will.

5) Don't ask clients for big gifts.

6) Don't chase ambulances--unless you know the people inside them.

7) Withdraw from a case if your client is using you to commit a crime/fraud.

8) I can't ask you to wear a priest's robe and give out my business cards to get business.
