All “sexual relations” with clients are forbidden under Rule 1.8(j), unless a consensual relationship existed between the attorney and the client when the attorney-client relationship commenced. However, what constitutes “sexual relations” was previously not defined at all in the rule, and that has led to some interesting questions in our increasingly remote and virtual world.

This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which upheld laws in the city of Grants Pass, Oregon, that prohibit people from sleeping outside on public property even when there are no available shelter beds. This disappointing and harmful decision allows cities to enforce civil and criminal penalties against individuals who have no choice but to sleep outside, despite the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

During my 3L year, I volunteered as a legal service coordinator with Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers For the Arts (PVLA). I would watch potential clients who were initially distraught or nervous about their legal woes at the beginning of the intake process leave with smiles and reassurance after speaking with or being represented by a volunteer attorney. I knew that once I became a licensed attorney, I would become a volunteer attorney for PVLA.

When is a business record not a business record. Without sounding silly, it is when it is someone else’s business. That explanation is fundamental and is express in the language of Rule 803(6) which talks of the record of that “activity” (the neutral word for “business”) and implicit in the requirement that the information therein be “by—or from information transmitted by—someone with knowledge.”

As was noted in this space some time ago, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was considering an employer’s petition for allowance of appeal in Sicilia v. API Roofers Advantage Program (Workers' Compensation Appeals Board), which necessarily implicated Duffey v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (Trola-Dyne). The Supreme Court did issue its decision in Sicilia on July 17, 2024, but an evenly divided court failed to disturb either the underlying, Commonwealth Court decision or Duffey.
