| Two lawyers represent a felon. After the trial, the client advises one of the lawyers that the other lawyer (who is a member of an out-of-state bar) instructed the client to commit perjury. The lawyer must disclose this information to the tribunal and (if it raises a substantial question of the other lawyer's fitness to practice law) to the Virginia Bar and the bar of the state in which the other lawyer practices. [If information about the ethics violation is a client confidence, a lawyer may report the other lawyer's misconduct only if the client consents under Rule 1.6(c)(3); the lawyer considering whether to report must consult with the client under that Rule.] |
