RULE 8.4: MISCONDUCT
Commentary
[1] Lawyers are subject to discipline when they violate or attempt
to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, knowingly assist or induce another to do so
or do so through the acts of another, as when they request or instruct an agent to do so
on the lawyer's behalf. Paragraph (a), however, does not prohibit a lawyer from
advising a client of action the client is lawfully entitled to take.
