[WL-law]

Bill also mentioned the statute that was violated.

ah,..no -- the ethical rules for lawyers are not "statutes". And so violation of a rule is not breaking the law.

These are rules of conduct that accompany the privilege of the license to practice, and violation can lead to loss of license, in a worst-case scenario.

Well... if Bill Clinton gets disbarred for lying under oath, *if* the Westerfield lawyers did violate the statute, then what would their punishment be?
