I recently attended the American Bar Association Center on Professional Responsibility annual symposium in Boston. This gathering brings together an interesting mix of law professors, bar regulators and lawyers engaged in the business of legal ethics (defense/expert/consultant folks). There is a tremendous amount of talent roaming the hallways.
At one session, where law professors gather to discuss their work in progress, a lawyer from a federal agency asked for guidance on a tricky issue when having contact with corporate whistleblowers who make it clear that their corporate counsel has no knowledge that the employee is “reporting out” damaging (and criminal) information. The audience jumped in, argued some (that’s what professors do best) and then gave some good advice. The federal official later admitted that she had not even registered for the conference, but knew that if she came to Boston she could pick some of the best minds in the country for free.
