This treatise concerns cases where clients sue their attorney, alleging under one or more legal theories that the attorney’s error or omission (or in less common cases, intentional conduct), has caused them recoverable damages. During a recent four-year period, every legal malpractice claim study shows real estate, plaintiff’s personal injury and family law as the three largest categories and making up half or more of all claims. Preparing, filing and transmission of documents (not including pleadings) made up the largest share of all claims, while erroneous legal advice was second.
Fourth Amendment law and procedure continues to receive the active attention of the courts and the legislature. This book covers the core principles and rules of law governing searches and seizures of individuals, homes, and vehicles, applying relevant Arizona and federal authority.
