Pink Letter Law (Part Deux)

So, earlier I provided my Memoirs of Erin Richelle readers with a splash of Pink Letter Law, when I discussed Trey and Charlotte Yorks divorce from SATC in the context of my family law class lessons. Yet again, in my legal profession textbook, I came across another New York law that would have had serious implications for Miss Charlotte York. Accordingly, a New York code amendment states, "a lawyer shall not ... in domestic relations matters, begin a sexual relationship with a client durign the course of the lawyer's respresentation of the client." For all of you SATC fans, that should set off a serious alarm. Because it was during the divorce proceedings of McDougal v. McDougal, that Charlotte, met, had sexual relations with, fell in love with, and later married her divorce attorney, Harry Goldenblacht. Had this not occurred in the HBO studios, but rather in the real "legal streets of NY" there would have been some serious consequences / implications under the Model Rules of Professional Ethics facing Counselor Goldenblacht.

Again, nothing spices up a night's reading of Family Law, Legal Profession, Constitional Law, or Evidence, like a splash of Pink Letter Law!!!
