Cite as In re Casey, 19 DB Rptr 105 (2005)
10.
Drawing together the factors of duty, mental state, and injury, Standards § 7.3
suggests that a reprimand is generally appropriate when a lawyer negligently engages
in conduct that is a violation of a duty owed to the profession, and causes potential
injury to a client, the public, or the legal system.
Oregon case law is in accord. See In re Dixon, 17 DB Rptr 75 (2003); In re
Bassett, 16 DB Rptr 190 (2002).
11.
Consistent with the Standards and Oregon case law, and considering the
mitigating factors properly attributable to the Accused, the parties agree that the
Accused shall be publicly reprimanded for violation of DR 3-101(B).
12.
