In "Criminal Malpractice: A Lawyer's  Holiday," Duncan argues that defense attorneys should not be immune  from civil punishment just because they often represent unsavory  characters. Duncan views the tort system as a means of punishing  "delinquent defense lawyers, not rewarding poorly represented  defendants." But at a time when legislators are eagerly limiting  medical malpractice awards, does Duncan really think they will remove tort-claim barriers for convicts? Sounds  unlikely—unless lawyer-hating lawmakers see it as a chance to give  the bar a taste of their own torts. <B><I>Georgia Law Review,</I> Volume  37,</B></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/41787AC9-B52A-4F4E-87BD-D1FCC3AA0E5F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
