Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in New York
defamation per se
A lawyer decides to withdraw from a case. In his motion to withdraw he includes defamatory lies about the client. He forges a document, as well, and places it as an exhibit in his motion. Can he be held accountable 1) even though pleadings are normally immune? 2) for defamation per-se?
