Lawyers Seek Pass From Privacy Law

Lawyers Seek Pass From Privacy Law
Legal Times

Enough already! That's what the ABA and others will argue Thursday as they 
ask the D.C. Circuit to rule that the FTC has no right to hold lawyers to 
privacy provisions in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The litigation is the 
latest sign of lawyers' fervent belief that state laws should hold the 
strongest sway over their professional conduct. Says legal ethics counsel 
Michael Frisch, "When the federal government threatens to impinge on the 
way lawyers do business, there is always going to be resistance."
