Assuming that his client would not have wanted these records released, I must wonder what sort of a lawyer would even be playing this game?

There used to be a respect for privacy, which apparently no longer exists in east coast cities.

Are we going to get back to public issues, or just drown in the pursuit of dirt--or suspected dirt--on prominent people?

As a trial lawyer, who respects privacy, and keeps files that could violate that respect, even where his client does not specifically care about same, private--I find this sort of thing utterly repugnant.

His client’s privacy is not at issue.
