Not that I'm defending them -- I happen to think the "real" ethical line
is much higher than the bar set by the rules of professional responsibility -- but there's virtually no chance of someone being sanctioned for making a colorable claim on behalf of his or her client. In this case it's zealous advocacy run amok but there's a rationale to it. I agree w G-Len, though, they really need to level with their clients and additionally explain to them the reputational hit they may take in the UVA community for following a "scorched earth" litigation strategy; and I too hope that a no-nonsense judge will look at this case for what it is and throw it out, assuming they don't have evidence that we don't know about that shows complicity by the administration.. Nothing is going to bring their daughter back. The guilty party has been held accountable. It's time to move on. If you want to try to clean out the Huguelys, that's one thing. But going after the university that YL loved is really not a fitting tribute. And going after first-rate coaches who would never have condoned such behavior had they known about it is terrible. |
