Abstract
- This article focuses on a leak of information from a private Internet discussion group for lawyers. Trial lawyers in Palm Beach, Fla. have a leak scandal almost as good as Valerie Plame's. In early October somebody with access to a members-only Internet discussion group sent Circuit Judge Diana Lewis unflattering remarks that Brian LaBovick, among other attorneys, had made about the judge's jury selection technique in an accident case he'd recently lost. Hello, Patrick Fitzgerald! The Palm Beach County Trial Lawyers Association, which runs the Web discussion, hired a forensic expert to investigate the breach. The perpetrator, if found, might be hauled before the Florida Bar Association for violating the oath of privacy each lawyer and paralegal signed before joining the group.
