以前和(hé)朋友們逛(guàng)街(jiē),遇到交通事故、或者(zhě)打架鬥毆,朋友們都會半開玩笑的說,你是律師,快去發名片,說不定能(néng)接到案子。甚至在很多醫院的(de)急症或者(zhě)骨科門診外,都會遇到很多黃牛或者律師,幫你辦理保險(xiǎn)理賠或訴訟。這樣的場景如果換在美國會被如何約束呢?一起來看一下吧。
招徠
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.
招徠是ABA規則所禁止的。招徠是指律師在知道或(huò)者應當知道特定的人就某一特定事項需要法(fǎ)律服務(wù),由律師向特定人發(fā)起的(de)有目(mù)的的交流,旨在直接或(huò)間接(jiē)要求就該事項提供法(fǎ)律服務。
A lawyer must not solicit professional employment by in-person, live telephones, 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 telephones messages, to persons. The purpose is to protect the targeted person from being subjected to a direct personal encounter without time for reflection.
律師禁止以獲取金錢收益為目的,通過當麵、電話或其他即時視聽一(yī)對一(yī)交流的方式,招徠(lái)生意。但允許通過向特定人發(fā)送真實的(de)溝通,例如通過信(xìn)件(jiàn)、郵件或可被記錄的電話留言。目的旨在保護特定人不因直接的個人交鋒而沒有時間反應。
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
但是對於以下人群,律師是可以發起個人接觸的:其他(tā)律(lǜ)師;與該律師有家庭的,親密的關係的或(huò)者之前職業關係(xì)的人;基於商業目的常規性接(jiē)受律師提供的某(mǒu)類法(fǎ)律服務的(de)人。
