Dear Sir/Maam,
I was wondering if it is ethical or even legal for an attorney let's say mine to send a draft copy of a motion we were working on to the advisary attorney without my knowledge or consent. This was discovered much after the trial/settlement during a plenary hearing, when a file was subpoenead into court. Is this ethical? This is where a fax from my attorney to the other attorney was found and it stated in the notation that it was a draft of the motion I was working on to be filed with the court and was being sent to the opposing attorney out of courtesy to him/her. Is this something legal that is doone especially since it was done without the client's consent or knowledge? I am very curious as to how many other drafts were sent out with out my knowledge in this highly contested case. Please advise if you can:no???:no:
