Lawyers as Litigants in Boston
March 30th, 2008Yesterday brought two appellate opinions from Boston-based courts — one federal, one state — in which lawyers participated not as advocates, but as litigants. One, from the state’s highest court, the Supreme Judicial Court, addressed the applicability of an anti-SLAPP statute to the lawyer’s attempts to recover his legal fees. The other, from the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, involved a divorcing lawyer’s attempt to keep his ex-wife from getting a stake in his retirement plans.
