Last week in class we discussed the duty of confidentiality and some of its exceptions. During our discussion I mentioned a 60 Minutes segment about the case of Alton Logan, who was recently released from prison based on the testimony of two attorneys who knew he was innocent but did not say anything for 26 years. The case raises the question whether it would be a good idea to add another exception to the list in Model Rule 1.6(b). Here is the 60 Minutes segment in its entirety. It starts after a short commercial and is about 12 minutes long. (You can view it in full screen by clicking on the square icon in the lower part of the image.)
