SUMMARIES OF PAST PRIVATE INFORMAL ADMONITIONS
Past summaries of private informal admonitions appear in the Hawai`i Bar Journal.  The summaries provide guidance regarding the type of unprofessional conduct which may result in an informal admonition.  Please note, however, that an array of factors are considered in each case, including mitigating factors such as lack of prejudice to the client.  The summaries are thus not binding precedent but examples of specific factual situations which led to an informal admonition by the ODC.
