The opinion makes it clear that compliance with the newly revised Rule 1.16 and other ethical rules required lawyers to make an investigation\u2014in some cases substantial investigation\u2014into a client\u2019s activities and plans:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A duty to inquire into and assess the facts and circumstances of a representation has long been implicit in the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 1.2(d) requires a lawyer to inquire into and assess the facts of each representation to avoid advising or assisting a client in conduct the lawyer knows to be criminal or fraudulent; similarly, depending on the facts and circumstances, other Rules may also require inquiry and assessment to satisfy the lawyer\u2019s duty of competence under Rule 1.1, the duty of diligence under Rule 1.3, the duty to communicate under Rule 1.4, the duty to protect the best interests of an organizational client under Rule 1.13, the duties of honesty and integrity under Rules 8.4(b) and (c), and the duty to withdraw under Rule 1.16(a). In August 2023, this previously implicit duty to inquire and assess the facts and circumstances of a representation was made explicit by amendments to Rule 1.16.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is not insignificant that the opinion uses the phrase \u201cmade explicit.\u201d This would suggest that even in jurisdictions that have not accepted the 2023 amendments to Rule 1.16, some degree of investigation is required by lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>While the original purpose for Rule 1.16 was to combat lawyers\u2019 aiding clients in money laundering or terrorism, Formal Opinion 513 explains the rule\u2019s reach is far broader under the amended text and comments\u2014especially Comment 1:<\/p>\n<p>. . .<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn--blue\" href=\"https:\/\/josephhollander.com\/news-blog\/aba-formal-opinion-513-the-lawyers-duty-of-investigation\/\">READ THE FULL ARTICLE<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NEW_AUTHORITY_Oregon_Formal_Opinion_2024-203_Cultural_Awareness\"><\/span>NEW AUTHORITY: Oregon Formal Opinion 2024-203: Cultural Awareness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Oregon State Bar recently released Formal Opinion 2024-203 on lawyer-client communication and cultural awareness. While the Formal Opinion is new, its topic of discussion is not. As the American population has grown more diverse linguistically and culturally, a number of authorities have grown concerned with assuring that lawyers can adequately communicate with clients in spite of language difficulties. The ABA issued Formal Opinion 500 on this topic in October 2021, and Oregon follows the ABA\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<p>With the growing availability of digital translation devices, lawyers should be able to comply with Rules 1.1 on competency and Rule 1.4 on communication in many cases, but not all the time. But, as both Formal Opinion 2024-203 and ABA Formal Opinion 500 point out, a lack of cultural awareness may hinder effective lawyer-client communications even when verbatim translation is available.<\/p>\n<p>Formal Opinion 2024-203 highlights the importance of a lawyer\u2019s cultural awareness when the client comes from a different culture than the attorney. Both the Oregon opinion and ABA Formal Opinion 500 point out that linguistic skills may not be sufficient. Rather, the translator and lawyer must also be sensitive to cultural differences that may affect lawyer-client communication. The Oregon opinion, summarizing ABA Formal Opinion 500, states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Oregon RPC 1.1 also requires cultural awareness as necessary to provide competent representation in a particular matter to achieve a client\u2019s objectives. A lawyer who is not culturally aware of their client\u2019s background may be insensitive to the client\u2019s cultural taboos, expectations, family norms, or communication and conflict- resolution styles, factors that could significantly affect the quality or usefulness of the lawyer\u2019s representation and advice. The client may view the representation from a cultural and social perspective that is not shared by the lawyer. The lawyer may be less effective in establishing a relationship of trust and confidence with clients from other cultures, and the failure to understand the significance of cultural awareness and misinterpretation of client behavior may lead the lawyer to implement ineffective case strategies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This may come as some surprise to many lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>The Oregon opinion, like the ABA Formal Opinion, goes on to state the expectation that lawyers educate themselves to become culturally aware of clients\u2019 cultures or find other experts to provide this awareness. This could be a translator, but the lawyer will have to assure himself that the translator is culturally aware. <strong>This might rule out digital translations.<\/strong> Lawyers dealing with clients from different cultures must pay attention to this.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ETHICS_MALPRACTICE_RESEARCH_TIP_New_Articles_Drawn_from_the_Current_Index_of_Legal_Periodicals\"><\/span>ETHICS &amp; MALPRACTICE RESEARCH TIP: <strong>New Articles Drawn from the <i>Current Index of Legal Periodicals<\/i><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>1.
