My guess,and it is only that as I have no legal qualifications,would be that somehow fraud would have to be established than the lawyer in question would have to be shown to be knowingly guilty of helping to perpetuate that fraud.I think it would again get to a question of what actions the lawyer is taking and the motivation.
Apackof2 legal question ping if it is something covered in your classes
seeks to silent would be witnesses through intimidation
Not much specific detail but I would say at first glance and by this defintion that the lawyer in question is using unethical practices and could be reported to the bar
