Proposed Utah Ethics Rule Would Bar Lawyers’ False Comments About Judicial System
A proposed ethics rule barring Utah lawyers from knowingly making false statements about the judicial system has garnered no supporters in online comments.

The proposal was a response to an advertisement for a law firm that said divorce courts are unfairly stacked against fathers, the story says.
