以前和朋友们逛街,遇到交通事故、或者打架斗殴,朋友们都会半开玩笑的说,你是律师,快去发名片,说不定能接到案子。甚至在很多医院的急症或者骨科门诊外,都会遇到很多黄牛或者律师,帮你办理保险理赔或诉讼。这样的场景如果换在美国会被如何约束呢?一起来看一下吧。
招徕
SOLICITATION
Solicitation is forbidden under the ABA rules. A solicitation is a targeted communication initiated by the lawyer that is directed to a specific person that lawyer knows or reasonably should know needs legal services in a particular matter, and that directly or indirectly offers to provide legal service in that matter.
招徕是ABA规则所禁止的。招徕是指律师在知道或者应当知道特定的人就某一特定事项需要法律服务,由律师向特定人发起的有目的的交流,旨在直接或间接要求就该事项提供法律服务。
A lawyer must not solicit professional employment by in-person, live telephone, or other real-time visual or auditory person-to-person communications with a significant motive to obtain pecuniary gain, but is not prohibited from sending truthful, nondeceptive communications, such as via mail, e-mail, or recorded telephone messages, to persons. The purpose is to protect the targeted person from being subjected to a direct personal encounter without time for reflection.
律师禁止以获取金钱收益为目的,通过当面、电话或其他即时视听一对一交流的方式,招徕生意。但允许通过向特定人发送真实的沟通,例如通过信件、邮件或可被记录的电话留言。目的旨在保护特定人不因直接的个人交锋而没有时间反应。
To the following people, a lawyer is not prohibited from initiating personal contact:
▪ another lawyer
▪ a person with whom the lawyer has a familial, close personal, or prior professional relationship
▪ a person who routinely uses for business purpose the type of legal services offered by the lawyer
但是对于以下人群,律师是可以发起个人接触的:其他律师;与该律师有家庭的,亲密的关系的或者之前职业关系的人;基于商业目的常规性接受律师提供的某类法律服务的人。
