Rule 4.4 Respect for Rights of Third Persons

Title 4 Transactions with Persons Other Than Clients

(a) In representing a client, an LLLT shall not use means that have no substantial purpose other than to embarrass, delay, or burden a third person, or use methods of obtaining evidence that violate the legal rights of such a person.

(b) An LLLT who receives a document relating to the representation of the LLLT's client and knows or reasonably should know that the document was inadvertently sent shall promptly notify the sender.

Comment [1] This Rule was adapted from Lawyer RPC 4.4 with no substantive changes and applies to LLLTs analogously.
