Can Elaine Be Blamed? - Attorney Analysis - Ineffective Assistance of Counsel and the Parting Pledge
Was Elaine fired, or did she withdraw voluntarily, or was her removal mandatory? Elaine's exit wasn't exactly "noisy" but it wasn't silent, either. Amber might try to blame Elaine for her trial loss, but the appellate court won't entertain that. There was no requirement to announce it, so what does it mean that they made her termination so public? We'll look at rules setting forth ethical requirements for both mandatory (must) and permissive (may) reasons for a lawyer to terminate representation of a client. What are those requirements, and do we know which one applies here? Finally, we have to give Elaine credit for that very quiet word choice that spoke very loudly in the context of her exit.
