Rules of the Blog

I.This blog is for educational purposes only. It does not contain any legal advice and you must not rely on anything contained in this blog or other blogs or resources which might be linked to this blog. Do not post or email any information regarding the particulars of any case you might have since it will not be kept confidential. By reading the contents of this blog or by posting any comment or sending any information via email or other means to this blog or to any lawyer participating in this blog, a client-lawyer relationship is not thereby created or intended with any of the lawyers who might participate in this blog. If you need legal advice, don’t rely on this blog. Legal advice must be gotten only from an attorney duly licensed and in good standing in the state or jurisdiction involved in the particular matter. Any lawyer you select should be experienced and competent in the particular field of concern. If you are looking for such a lawyer, you might consider consulting reputable publications known for their bona fide lawyer ratings such as, for example, SuperLawyers,® Best Lawyers® in America, Martindale-Hubbell® or the like. You might also consider consulting a local or state bar association lawyer referral service and asking for a lawyer who has the appropriate experience. II.
The target audience of this blog consists of lawyers and insurance industry professionals who are interested in the law governing lawyers, particularly legal malpractice. This blog is not designed for nor is it intended for non-lawyers or for anyone seeking legal advice. We specifically discourage anyone appearing as a pro se litigant in a legal malpractice case or any other case from looking at the contents of this blog. Doing so may be detrimental to your legal interests.III.
Since this blog is intended primarily for educational and discussion purposes, some of the cases that are summarized or discussed here may not be good law. In fact, some cases have been reversed or modified. They may be discussed or referred to here in connection with the blog’s educational or discussion purposes. They may be instructive or illustrative of issues that are of general concern to the subject area and to the topic being discussed, but they may not be good law. Again, don’t rely on anything you see in this blog as being a current statement of the law in any jurisdiction. Should you come upon a summary or discussion of a case, we urge you to update it using the appropriate legal research search engines or other law library resources.

IV.
Some of the cases discussed here may have been “de-published” or ordered “not to be published”, or are not to be cited or the like, pursuant to various federal and state court rules. If such cases appear here,they are solely for educational and discussion purposes. While these cases may have no value as authoritative precedent, they may, nonetheless, have educational value. So, we will rely entirely on our readers to determine whether a case can be cited. But for educational purposes, we feel that full access to all legitimate sources and full and free discussion of all relevant ideas is the best policy.

V.
Some state’s Rules of Professional Conduct may view this blog as attorney advertising. We don’t necessarily agree, but to the extent that any authority so interprets the contents of the Legal Malpractice Law Review, we of course defer to them and hereby notify our readers that this publication may constitute attorney advertising.

VI.
Any opinions expressed in the various posts and comments in this blog are the opinions of the individuals who express them. Those opinions are expressed for educational purposes only in the course of legitimate and open discussion on topics of public and professional interest. Legal Malpractice Law Review does not endorse, agree or disagree with any opinion expressed in this blog but merely serves as a forum where such discussion on issues of concern to the legal profession and professional liability industry may take place.

VII.
This blog is intended to be a vehicle for civil and responsible discussion on topics relating to the law governing lawyers. It is NOT to be used as a forum to voice personal complaints about particular attorneys, courts or cases. The Editors reserve all rights to remove any posts or materials, which they believe, in their sole discretion, violate the spirit of this rule or detracts from the quality of the discussions.
