From the supplier: Sexual relationships between attorneys and clients, even though consensual, may be considered malpractice because such relations are likely unethical and a violation of attorneys' professional responsibility. The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct says such relationships are considered a conflict of interest and unfair to opposing party and counsel. Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, and Wisconsin have adopted almost complete bans on such relationships.
