This document discusses legal malpractice and how to prevent it. It defines legal malpractice as alleging that a lawyer negligently performed legal services, with examples like missing filing deadlines or failing to advise a client properly. To prevent malpractice, clients should communicate clearly with their lawyer, ask questions, and stay involved. Comments discuss how far lawyer immunity extends - there must be proof of mishandling, not just differences of opinion on case value. Questions address barrister immunity and whether a client can sue their lawyer after settling a case.
