If the ADA is not going to protect an attorney whose illness or disability has led to
ethics charges, lawyers with concerns about their mental or physical abilities should take steps to avoid landing
before the
regulators in the first place.
The hope of those lobbying for statutes is to finesse these other issues, rarely discussed, with a statute blessing collaborative law, however practiced (mostly unseen by judges or
regulators or members of the public, in the shadow of their private «containers»), and thus create a done deal
before the multitude of other
ethics problems come to light.
