摘要

Historically, lawyers have been relatively immune from liability to third parties for actions taken on behalf of their clients. Common law actions against lawyers by nonclient third parties have many legal barriers. The tort law in most jurisdictions has limited the ability to bring suits against lawyers to those who have privity or who have been identified by clients as third-party beneficiaries. For all practical purposes, actions against lawyers for their conduct in representing clients in non-litigation matters have faced much difficulty. Similarly, lawyers representing clients in litigation have protections and immunity from suit for their litigation behavior. And Congress significantly narrowed a previously available procedural remedy against opposing lawyers for filing frivolous cases in federal court. Although courts have the power to hold lawyers in contempt for actions taken on behalf of clients, such criminal or civil orders are rarely used and contain many procedural protections. The policy considerations are straightforward. Lawyers should be free to represent clients in non-litigation matters and to bring legal actions on behalf of clients in the court system without threats of civil liability to opposing parties. Allowing actions against lawyers would bring the prospect of satellite litigation and would have the potential to create conflicts between lawyers and clients. In the litigation context, such developments may discourage innovative litigation that could serve as a catalyst for law reform.
