It has been a while since I posted a story to the running "How not to practice law" series, so here are two new ones.
How not to practice law: As a prosecutor, be in a personal-romantic relationship with the lead FBI investigator you use as principal witness to get indictments before a grand jury. The Legal Profession Blog has the story. The prosecutor was suspended for a year and a day (although all but 6 months was stayed.) [UPDATE 10/29/17: Lawyer Ethics Alerts Blog has a story on this case here.]
How not to practice law: Offer to pay a witness $7,000 for his "honest testimony." The Law For Lawyers Today has that story here. The lawyer was suspended for 35 days.
