Posts: 529 why are we surprised? pedophiles are in all cultures...he's bad and nasty and yes all that...but putting all this info online and the chance of someone putting the pieces together and figuring out his identity is a breach of the fiduciary relationship between lawyer and client...everyone at least has that right! unless they're a repeat sex offender and required by the court to register with the local authorities....

I agree, confidential info should not be posted...

We all post confidential information and it should be left up to an individual choice to reveal it. By posting confidential information she is only endangering herself and risking her job (although highly unlikely), not the integrity of this site.

You can always pretend that you have read it in a different source or heard it from some friend. I don't see why things must be taken out of proportion. Besides if the guy is a pedophile I would only welcome if more people recognized his identity to avoid any contact with that animal.

Is this from a post on the forums or the member pages?

Yes, I do not understand the context of this discussion.

DevilzAdvocate posted a segment from one of the cases in her law firm about a pedophile Armenian. Hyebruin posted the comment which is quoted in admins post about not revealing confidential information due to the fiduciary breach. Admin agreed and deleted Devilz post. I posted my thoughts afterwards. The end. I hope that it clears things up for you.

It is very wrong, not to mention quite illegal, to post in any kind of online forum, or even pass on through spoken word, information gathered from someone's PRIVATE legal files. Those files are confidential, closed, attorney-client privelaged files, even if this particular attorney chose not to take the case. The person who wrote the post would be accountable and in deep dodo.

That said, if the charges ARE true, I hope the guy rots in hell, which he will. But we do have this little system called innocent until proven guilty, so facts or no, we should remember that.

Ah, the clears it up. Thanks anileve AND ckBejug.



Hey, anileve cleared it up, not YOU! Sheesh.

I agree, however it should still be left up to the discretion of the person willing to take a risk. I am quite sure that many of you are downloading music illegally, the idea of it being illegal doesn't prevent you from continuing.

As for the guy, according to the post, has admitted his actions and blamed it on intoxication and pleaded insanity. I think its a sure sign that he is guilty, without the need for an official conviction.

Technically, case information such as who is being charged and what they are being charged of is a matter of public record. It is the other personal information falling under actual attorney client communication or documents determined as inadmissible or privileged that are not a matter of public record and therefore cannot be revealed to the public. With a confidentiality agreement (which is usually, and should have been, provided by the law firm), she is legally barred from revealing such privileged information.

this stuff is pretty serious! and has not so much to do with the integrity of the site as it has to do with the law!

i.e. in healthcare there is HIPPA which was passed in april of 2003 and it protects the privacy of all patients...it's the stuff you sign every time you see your pcp, dentist, go to the pharmacy,...etc.

it's the era of protecting everyone's privacy and if the relevant regulatory bodies find someone/anyone who is in violation of any portion of it, dire consequences potentially await that individual/corporation!
