Lawyers in California may soon be required to report professional misconduct by their peers and colleagues—as do attorneys in every other state. The State Bar of California’s board of trustees on Thursday voted for a new ethics rule mandating that lawyers report fraud, misappropriation of funds and other criminal acts or conduct that reflect adversely on lawyers’ “honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness,” by fellow attorneys.
The board recommended the new so-called “snitch rule” to the California Supreme Court, which has the final say on adoption.
