On April 13, Jennifer Barnes, disciplinary counsel of the Executive Office of Immigration Review, (EOIR) a federal agency within the Department of Justice, sent a cease and desist letter to a nonprofit organization in Seattle, Washington. If enforced, the cease and desist letter would effectively prevent the nonprofit from fulfilling its mission. The nonprofit at issue is the Northwest Immigration Rights Project (NWIRP), founded in 1984, and its mission is to assist undocumented immigrants through legal assistance, advocacy and education.

I feel like I'm caught is some weird, warped time loop — reliving, again and again, spectacular lawyer self-destructions. The last few weeks brought press reports of guilty pleas from several of our brethren. Change the names, and they could be any one of many, many I've seen before.

In that discussion, the legal malpractice plaintiff's burden of proving the case-within-the-case is likewise a primary topic.

Professional Liability Insurance columnist Sue C. Jacobs writes: Courts recently have been more liberal in holding that causes of action for both legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duties may exist in the same action.
