Check out Guerro v. Triangle Construction: http://vlex.com/vid/35361376
In this case, Rohn represented a union employee. The employee’s case was dismissed because he “did not allege that [his union] breached its duty of fair representation. . .” (According to the court, a U.S. Supreme Court decision holds that such an allegation is essential.) Now read footnote six: Rohn was simultaneously representing the union!!!

Let me see if I can wrap my head around that one: On behalf of one client, Guerro, she was supposed to allege that another client, the union, had breached its duty to Guerro. But she didn’t do that. That’s a major conflict of interest. Here in Missouri, that would get the lawyer severely disciplined, if not disbarred. (Not to mention sued for malpractice. BTW, the case indicates that Rohn also blew the appeal deadline for several other plaintiffs in the case so their appeals never even got considered (although presumably they would have lost too).)

Then there is this case http://www.visupremecourt.org/wfdata/frame828-1069/File17.pdf which describes Rohn being disqualified for taking a statement from supervisory employee of a party to a lawsuit, without the company’s lawyer present. That’s another ethical no-no and the trial court said that Rohn violated Rule 4.2 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct.

Oh, and her web site biography: http://www.rohnlawfirm.com/jsp2271743.jsp says that she was the first woman president of the University of Texas Law School (but doesn’t list a year). The UT law school web page doesn’t list any presidents in the current administration: http://www.utexas.edu/law/people/admin.html only a dean and various associate or assistant deans. Based upon Rohn’s bio, she graduated from law school in 1974 and looks like she headed to the Virgin Islands around 1984. http://www.onepaper.com/stcroixvi/?v=d&i=&s=Community:People&p=1153545523
Is it likely that she became a president of a law school within 9 years of graduation? Or is this a false statement that violates Model Rule 8.4(c): It is misconduct to “engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.” BTW, she also says she is a “Recipient, Keeton Fellow.” But that is the name UT law school gives you if you donate $1,000 a year for five years. http://www.utexas.edu/law/depts/alumni/giving_levels.html Tsk, tsk counselor.

Does anyone know if Rohn is still allowed to practice law? If so, why?
