Partner accused, career damaged; associate implicates Altheimer & Gray lawyer, but bar drops matter

Article Abstract:

Illinois is the one state to state unequivocally that attorneys must report unethical conduct by peers or risk being disciplined themselves for failure to report.An Illinois Supreme Court decision, In re Himmel, made this ruling and since then Illinois attorneys have made 580 reports a year of misconduct by colleagues. The Himmel rule has in fact often been triggered by an attorney's suspicion if this suspicion was caused by a document or event that shows circumstantially that serious misconduct has occurred.
