We use rejection emails, letting them know that our declining does not reflect on any merits to their case.

Yes, an email is usually fine for delivery. Be clear there will be no representation, let them know declining doesn’t reflect on the merits, advise of all potential statutes of limitations for all reasonably related claims, and advise that they should contact new counsel for more details and well before any possible filing deadlines. Sending the same via USPS letter with proof of delivery is also a good call if the client seems sketchy.

I have a good belief to believe I, and others of my kind are being systemically discriminated against at work. There was a particular incident recently that affected me. I am the in house employment counsel for the company - and now feel like I am in a weird position. Can I file an EEO complaint against my client, or do they just get to do whatever they want to me? Obviously outside counsel would need to be hired, and a wall put up. Looking for info thanks.

What do you think the odds are of a legal malpractice claim against Alex Jones’ attorneys for the inadvertent text turnover?

55% of legal mal and ethics issues involve attorney mental health or substance abuse (or both).

Those numbers are definitely under reported.

Most firms talk about attorney wellness without much follow through.

Do your firms do anything to actually promote attorney mental health or support substance abuse problems?
