Tonight I had hoped to be writing both Part 4 of "a low risk attorney scam" and Part 1 of "designed to fail." I am just too tired to do it, and may not get to it for several days. Here is a thumbnail, though:
Part 4 of LRAS will examine the RPC (Rules of Professional Conduct) rule prohibiting dilatory practices. That rule has been in RPC for more than a decade, and yet the state supreme court has yet to define the term. Since the supreme court requires complaints involving this rule to go through the trial judge, for reasons that totally escape me, it apparently has never had a case on the rule presented to it. I will likely make this post and Part 3 a part of the "designed to fail" series, and deservedly so.
Part 1 of DTF will compare the Colorado Code of Judicial Conduct with the ABA model code and determine if the fact that the state supreme court has withheld an immunity from lawsuit for judges who report unethical attorney and judicial conduct to is intended to discourage those kinds of reports.
