Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : Public Discipline of Lawyers Urged
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A commission of the American Bar Assn. recommended that systems for disciplining lawyers--most of which operate in great secrecy--open complaints against lawyers and their findings to public view. “You cannot ask the public to trust a system which they cannot see and which operates in secret,” Raymond R. Trombadore, a Somerville, N.J., lawyer who chaired the commission, said at a news conference in Washington. The commission’s 22 recommendations will be considered by the ABA’s House of Delegates in February.
