Living and practicing in a state with a very strict interpretation of Rule 8.3 and 8.4—see In re Himmel, 125 Ill. 2d 531 (1988) (suspending an attorney for failing to report another attorney's misconduct at the direction of his client to protect a restitution stream from prior conversion of client funds)—can be an annoyance. Of course, it can also be a sword; given my low opinion of the profession, the annoyance is only the time spent on putting together the complaint, not making the complaint itself.
