I just finished editing the fourth edition of Jamie Sullivan’s and my handbook, “Connecticut Legal Ethics and Malpractice.” It brought back memories of the crazy and fascinating stuff I have seen in 20 years in lawyer discipline. I often tell people that lawyers are a creative bunch, and when they set out to do good, they can achieve wonderful things, but when they drift off the line, there’s no end to the madness.

Long before the pandemic, some of us were experimenting with creative office ideas. One lawyer practiced out of the back room of a barbershop. (He was way ahead of the Better Call Saul protagonist who practiced out of a nail salon.) He’s different from the lawyer who was actually a barber and offered both legal and tonsorial services out of the same store. There was another who maintained an office at an auto dealership his family owned. (Imagine the nifty advertising you could develop tying legal services to a new ride.)
