The American Bar Association's 131st annual meeting, a six-day event starting Aug. 7 in New York, will take up some controversial issues for the legal profession during the ABA's House of Delegates session.

The proposal would enable a law firm to "screen" the incoming attorney from the rest of its attorneys and to continue representing its client without the consent of the incoming attorney's former client.
