Thanks for posting that, arno. I had heard about it but hadn't read it. What do I think? I think that attorneys should be honorable. I think that a person's reputation for being honorable is more important than winning. I still believe in truth and justice. That having been said, here is the reality of state bar investigations: Unfortunately, the little guys are usually the ones caught in the nets. People who fail to return calls to clients who are probably difficult and/or who fail to account for a $1000 retainer. The high profile types like Boies are often given greater latitude. They also have more money for their defense. Here, the practical question is probably whether the Florida Supreme Court itself felt that it was mislead by Boies and therefore embarrassed. If I were on the Court, and uncritically accepted his representations, I would surely feel mis-used. Ultimately, the state Supreme Court will rule on any discipline imposed. I just can't say whether that complaint will go anywhere. The whole thing is so political, after all. I guess this is a long-winded way of saying heck if I know<g> M
