New York has suspended lawyer Lawrence Baker from the practice of law for two years after it was determined that he behaved unethically with a female opposing counsel after a judge overseeing a pretrial conference in chambers left the room to attend to another matter. For his part, Baker only admits to engaging in inappropriate conversation and giving the women a “love tap” on the shoulder. Uh, well, it seems to have been a bit more than that. An investigation determined that Baker kissed the lawyer, plunged his hands down her blouse, fondled her, and, <cough>, exposed himself.
The technical term for this, in the ABA’s ethics rules, is “engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.”
The old gag about this kind of conduct was that the lawyer “presented his briefs” to opposing counsel.
The vernacular term for it is, “YIKES!”

In most states, you’d lose your license to practice MEDICINE PERMANENTLY for such conduct. However, I guess that’s because it’s the lawyers that make up the rules for the state Medical Boards.
Heh. You won’t get any argument from me on THAT!
“The vernacular term for it is, “YIKES!”. The term should be “SICK”
I think he is really lucky that he is an attorney. Anyone else doing that would be facing serous prison time and life on the sex offender registry in most states.
