| A lawyer learning that opposing counsel may have acted in an unethical fashion should immediately advise the client of the client's right to complain to the Bar, and must also immediately report the other lawyer's unethical conduct if it "is based upon a substantial degree of certainty," is "not construed to be a secret or confidence" whose disclosure would damage or prejudice the client's interests. [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.] |
