Illinois Supreme Court amends Rules of Professional Conduct

Changes to the Rules include addressing sexual harassment, providing general definitions of harassment and discrimination, imposing a “know” or “reasonably should know” standard on attorneys for harassing or discriminatory acts, and eliminating the requirement of a prior adjudication with a final judgment with no further rights of judicial review as a precondition for an attorney to be disciplined for harassment or discrimination, as well as additional clarifications.
