A Chicago lawyer will lose his Wisconsin law license for six months as reciprocal discipline for a drunken-driving crash that killed his friend.

It’s 11 a.m. on a due date and I’m procrastinating, staring at my phone instead of my computer. This past month has been a mess, between deadlines and family health issues and summer school, with weddings and day trips and a conference thrown in for good measure. A three-hour hearing turned into six yesterday in a windowless basement room, and my lower back is screaming at me for sitting in the same wobbly government-issue chair in the same position for too long. Still, a stupid phone game is what I’m capable of handling right now.

Should Wisconsin prosecutors be held to a higher ethical standard than their constitutional obligation to disclose evidence to criminal defendants?

Although lawyers can now take advantage of new rules allowing them to accept electronic payments, they might still want to enlist the help of professionals when balancing their books.

Civility, niceness, and more specifically incivility and meanness, are big news today.
