Attorney Brian Labovick was shocked when he learned that a Florida judge had received a copy of a criticism that he had posted about the judge on a supposedly confidential Web discussion forum run by the Palm Beach County Trial Lawyers Association. Both the posting and the judge's response have triggered an unusual ethics controversy. The trial lawyers group is enlisting a forensics expert to investigate the leak and is also considering seeking Florida Bar sanctions against the perpetrator.

Brian F. Labovick was shocked to receive a letter from Palm Beach, Fla., Circuit Judge Diana Lewis, saying that she’d received a copy of a critical note about her that the Jupiter attorney had posted on a confidential Internet forum.
In the letter, Lewis — who was presiding over an auto negligence case Labovick was handling — indicated that she had received a copy of Labovick’s Web posting from an anonymous source. She included the posting with her letter, but offered no comment on it.
