Gore Election Lawyer Faces Ethics Accusations
The lawyer who represented Al Gore in his Supreme Court challenge of Florida results in the 2000 presidential election has been accused of ethics violations in another case.
A Florida Bar grievance committee found probable cause that David Boies violated rules of misconduct by giving money to a client and improperly supervising other lawyers.
The case will be heard by a judge appointed by the Florida Supreme Court.
The allegations stem from his involvement in a legal battle between the owners of two Palm Beach lawn-care companies.
