That title is probably a thing somewhere else on the interwebs
already, but I'm just lazy enough to not look it up at the
moment.
So, it's been a minute since I have written anything about
the progress (or lack thereof) of jurisdictions adopting ABA Model
Rule 8.4(g) and since I have written anything (other than
indirectly) about whether any progress has been made on adopting
the revised, modernized approach to lawyer advertising rules seen
in the APRL-inspired, ABA Model Rules revision from last year.
In overlooking those stories in favor of writing about more
radical proposed changes to the ethics landscape (some of which
have thrown modernized advertising proposals into the stew),
I've been highlighting a lot of activity in the western United
States. But spending a bit of time on these other two topics, gives
me a chance to write about happenings in the New England region of
the United States.
