Since I practice by myself, the issue hasn't arisen so far.  The rules of 
conduct for lawyers in Massachusetts now require that a lawyer report 
another lawyer for ethical violations which reflect adversely on the 
other lawyers fitness to practice.  So I would be obligated to report a 
serious lapse that came to my attention or risk being in trouble myself.
