Wimsatt v. Superior Court (Cal. Ct. App. - June 18, 2007)

Feel like committing malpractice? Selling out your client?

Do it in a mediation.

That's the lesson of the day. Justice Aldrich doesn't appear especially happy about the result, but he says that he's bound by precedent and that any changes are for the Legislature to make, not the judiciary. Even if the injustice is manifest.

Remember that the next time you agree to participate in a mediation.
