The two relatively new opinions cover the use of the term “& Associates” in a firm’s name (if you are a solo, it’s a no go) and the duty of a lawyer to discuss his or her own malpractice with the client (the new opinion says it’s mandated in certain circumstances).

The currently proposed opinion, Opinion No. 22, covers that scintillating technical topic known as metadata, or what many folks simply call “data about data.” I could cover another few pages about metadata, including where to find it, how to find it, how to scrub it, and what it looks like when it’s downright embarrassing, but that’s all been done many times over and is the subject of numerous CLE seminars, typically about about e-discovery issues. I’ll just cut to the chase: the new proposed opinion takes a decidedly reasonable ground on the issue of guarding against inadvertent disclosure of confidential metadata, simply extending to metadata a lawyer’s duty not to knowingly reveal confidential client information.
