Strange legal bedfellows (rommance and ethics balance)
Q: I handle ethics and conflicts for our law firm. How do I deal with lawyers at my firm who become romantically involved with a person on the opposite side of our deals?
A: One of the most important duties lawyers owe their clients is to advocate zealously for the client’s interests. It’s hard to do this when you have competing loyalties on the other side of the aisle (or business deal or court case). At a bare minimum, it’s a situation that gives the appearance of being rife with conflicts.
“The more I think about this, the worse it gets,” said Carl E Schneider, Chauncey Stillman Professor of Law and Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan’s law school, who studies legal ethics. “It’s palpably reckless.”
The first thing the firm should do, Schneider said, is to get the love-struck lawyer off the team that works for the client.
The logical next step: think about whether the attorney should remain at the firm, given his questionable judgment. The ethical issue is the same whether the attorney in question is a partner or a junior associate, Schneider said.
As the person in charge of ethics at this law firm, you should follow the procedures in place for attorney wrong-doing. There should be a committee that deals with these sorts of issues; if not, tell the managing partner of the firm. The partners may decide to start disciplinary proceedings against the attorney.
Next, determine the responsibility the firm has to tell others about the situation. For certain, the other lawyers on the firm’s deal team need to know, Schneider said. It is only fair for them to be informed of a situation that may have compromised their hard work.
Does anyone else need to know? That depends on the rules for lawyers in the state where the relationship occurred. “Better to go to (the client) proactively,” Schneider suggested.Don’t expect that conversation to go well.
There is a bit of good news, however. The client isn’t likely to ditch your law firm, because it’s usually too complicated to swap in a new firm in the middle of a big deal, said Schneider.
The biggest danger to the client — and your firm — is that information about the case or deal may have been passed to the opposing side, even inadvertently. If the case is before a judge, your firm may have to disclose the issue to the judge and await the consequences.
How to avoid this situation in the future? Consider stepping up ethics and conflicts training for attorneys at your firm, since the message clearly isn’t getting through. Story by http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20130628-strange-legal-bedfellows

New Technic to unlock your car... be aware!
I locked my car As I walked away I heard my car door unlock. I went back
and locked my car again three times. Each time, as soon as I started to walk
away, I could hear it unlock again!! Naturally alarmed, I looked around and
there were two men sitting in a car next to the Store. They were obviously
watching me intently, and there seemed no doubt they were somehow involved in this very weird situation. I quickly abandoned my errand, jumped into my car and sped away. I went straight to the police station, told them what had happened, and found out I was part of a new, and very successful,
scheme being used to gain entry into parked cars. Two weeks later, my
friend's son had a similar experience...
While traveling, he stopped at a motorway service area to use the toilet.
When he came out to his car less than 5 minutes later, someone had managed to get into his car and had stolen his mobile phone, laptop computer,sat-nav, briefcase and other belongings. He called the police and since there were no signs of his car having been broken into, the police told him he had probably been a victim of the latest robbery tactic – there is a
device that robbers are using now to clone your security code when you lock
your doors on your car using your remote locking device. They sit a
distance away and watch for their next victim. They know you are going
inside the Store, restaurant, or whatever and that they now have a few
minutes to steal and run.*
The police officer said always to lock your car manually with the key when
parking in a public area. That way if there is someone sitting in a car
nearby watching for their next victim, it will not be you. When you lock up
with the key upon exiting, it does not send the security code, but if you
walk away and use the remote button, it sends the code through the airwaves
where it can be easily intercepted by the device.
This is very real. Be aware of what you just read and pls pass this
information. Thanks

Woman mauled to death by lion in Zimbabwe during sex...
RESIDENTS of a resort town in Zimbabwe are on alert after a rogue lion mauled to death two people.
Reports suggest that the man and his girlfriend, identified as Sharai Mawera, were having sex in a bushy area in Kariba when the lion attacked.
"Unfortunately the woman, who was also known as Mai Desire, was mauled to death by the lion but her boyfriend managed to escape naked and he was only wearing a condom," a source told myzimbabwe.com.
It says the man managed to escape and ran off while the woman was mauled to death.
Many motorists ignored the man, MyZimbabwe reported, because he was running all over the road naked.
