    • Although heterosexual transmission is rapidly increasing in the United States, AIDS disproportionately affects gay men and intravenous drug users. See Hombs, supra note 1, at 2; see also Ronald Bayer, Private Acts, Social Consequences: AIDS and the Politics of Public Health 21-22 (1989) (describing the beginnings of what was first labeled gay-related immune deficiency or GRID); McLaughlin, supra note 2, in AIDS Epidemic, supra note 2 at 15-16, 24 (same). Because the AIDS epidemic first hit these historically disadvantaged groups, a stigma developed, which was driven by social factors such as political disenfrancishment, homophobia, and racism. See Hombs, supra note 1, at 2. The effect of this intense stigma has been a further marginalization of already marginalized groups. See Robert T. Begg, Legal Ethics and AIDS: An Analysis of Selected Issues, 3 Geo. J. Legal Ethics 1, 9 (1989); see also McLaughlin, supra note 2, in AIDS Epidemic, supra note 2, at 24 (noting that the homosexual stigma attached to AIDS resulted in political neglect while encouraging "pseudo-religio-political prejudice and vindictiveness").

    • The myths and fears about the nature, cause, and transmission of the disease have led to widespread discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS.

    • An unreasonable fear of contracting AIDS continues despite substantial proof that HIV is not transmitted through normal, non-sexual social interaction or casual contact. See Hombs, supra note 1, at 7 (recounting findings that HIV is transmitted only through the direct exchange of blood, semen, or vaginal secretion). This fear is encouraged by "the nature of the disease, by inflammatory reporting of AIDS-related matters in the news media, and by the impact of powerful [sexual] taboos." See Begg, supra note 3, at 8

    • AIDS and Mandatory Pro Bono: A Step Toward the Equal Administration of Justice
    • Note
    • People with HIV/AIDS often turn to public interest organizations for three reasons. First, contracting the virus frequently drives people into financial ruin. See Giovanni Anzalone, Note, AIDS and Mandatory Pro Bono: A Step Toward the Equal Administration of Justice, 8 Geo. J. Legal Ethics 691, 692-94 (1995) (describing the effect that AIDS has in drawing people into poverty as a consequence of the attached medical costs). The cost of the drugs used in treatment are prohibitively expensive, especially now that the new costly multi-drug therapies are proving to be most effective. See Robert Pear, Expense Means Many Can't Get Drugs for AIDS, N.Y. Times, Feb. 16, 1997, at A1. Insurance coverage, although somewhat helpful, does not cover much of these pharmaceutical expenses. Id. Accordingly, people with HIV must turn to legal services or not-for-profit organizations that charge on a sliding scale, if they charge at all. Second, people with HIV/AIDS often need a wide range of legal services because contracting the virus often raises many legal issues. See generally Rivera, supra note 7, at 891-925 (discussing in detail the legal needs of people with HIV/AIDS). For instance, a person with HIV might need assistance navigating entitlement programs. Id. at 908. He also might want to bring a discrimination complaint if he feels that he was fired on the basis of his seropositivity. Id. at 912. Further, he likely will need estate planning services for drafting living wills, medical powers of attorney, and other documents. Id. at 891-903. He might even need help with a family law issue if he is involved in a divorce or a custody battle. Id. at 922. Public interest organizations provide this type of holistic service because they are situated to assist a population, rather than specialize in a particular area of law. Finally, even if the person has money and desires assistance from a private firm or practitioner, he may consult with several lawyers and be denied legal representation on an "ethically" discriminatory basis. See Begg, supra note 3, at 18 (explaining that a lawyer has full discretion under the ethical rules to reject any client he wishes). If the person cannot find a lawyer who is willing to represent a person with HIV, the person may have no choice but to go to a public interest organization. For an excellent discussion of how attorney-based discrimination can lead to underrepresentation of peopie with HIV, see id. at 14-40.

    • Although a person with HIV can obtain appropriate services from general legal services organizations, he might feel more comfortable at a legal organization that specializes in providing a wide range of services to people with HIV. See Bradford, supra note 7, at 24 (encouraging lawyers to work with AIDS service organizations because people with HIV are most likely to trust a lawyer affiliated with such groups). Specialized organizations might be better at addressing some of the common sensitive legal issues like discrimination and confidentiality. See Rivera, supra note 7, at 891 (suggesting that these organizations have experience in resolving common problems). They might also be better suited to offer HIV/AIDS-related social services in conjunction with legal assistance. See Bradford, supra note 7, at 24 (explaining that AIDS service organizations are often equipped to provide anonymous HIV testing, counseling, AIDS prevention education, medical referrals, and housing assistance).

    • Although the professional duty of confidentiality is related to the attorney-client privilege, it is much broader in scope. Model Code, supra note 11, EC 4-4. First, the privilege only prevents the court from compelling the attorney to testify about his professional communications with a client. Model Rules, supra note 12, Rule 1.6 cmt. 5. The professional duty, in contrast, demands confidentiality at all times, preventing voluntary disclosures except when made in furtherance of legal representation. Id. cmt. 5, cmt. 7. Second, the duty protects more than privileged information; it also seems to protect most other information gained by the attorney in the professional capacity. Id. cmt. 5. Here, the hypothetical does not require a lengthy discussion of the attorney-client evidentiary privilege because the lawyer is not asked to testify. This Note's analysis, therefore, will be limited to the professional duty of confidentiality

    • Professionalism as Bar Politics: The Making of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct
    • Much debate surrounded whether the Model Rules should make disclosure mandatory or discretionary in these circumstances. The debate began in 1979 when the ABA Commission, chaired by Robert J. Kutak, offered an early draft of the Model Rules, which were ultimately to replace the Model Code. See Ted Schneyer, Professionalism as Bar Politics: The Making of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, 14 Law & Soc. Inquiry 677, 702-03 (1989). The early discussion draft recommended tougher disclosure rules, including one that required lawyers to disclose client information to prevent substantial bodily harm. Id. at 704-05, 712. This proposal instantly sparked heated controversy; in an outrage, the American Trial Lawyers Association ("ATLA") claimed that the proposed disclosure rules would ruin the traditional adversary system of justice. Id. at 711-12. In protest, ATLA instantly began drafting an alternative code. Id. at 710-11. Ultimately, in 1982, the Kutak Commission conceded and recommended in the final draft that attorneys be permitted, rather than required, to disclose client confidences when necessary to prevent a client from committing a criminal or fraudulent act likely to result in substantial bodily harm or injury to the financial interest or property of another. See Rule 1.6 (Revised Final Draft, June 30, 1982, reprinted in 1996 Selected Standards on Professional Responsibility 18, 18 (Thomas D. Morgan & Ronald D. Rotunda eds. 1996) [hereinafter Selected Standards].

    • Most statutes take the following form: "A person commits the offense of exposing another to [HIV] if the person knows he or she [is] positive for [HIV] and . . . engages in sexual penetration with another person without first having informed the other person of the presence of [HIV]." Ark. Code Ann. § 5-14-123(b). For similar examples, see Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 333.5210(1) ("A person . . . who knows that he or she is HIV infected, and who engages in sexual penetration with another person without having first informed the other person that he or she has [HIV] is guilty of a felony."); S.C. Code Ann. § 44-29-145(1) ("It is unlawful for a person who knows that he is infected with [HIV] to knowingly engage in sexual intercourse . . . ."); Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-109 ("A person commits the offense of criminal exposure of another to HIV when, knowing that such person is infected with HIV, such person knowingly . . . engages in intimate contact with another . . . ."). Most statutes would therefore criminalize Matthew's conduct if he engaged in sexual intercourse with his partner because he knows that he is positive.

    • Most commentators agree that, theoretically, certain risky behavior can be prosecuted under traditional criminal statutes such as homicide (murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide), attempted murder, or assault. See Closen et al., supra note 29, at 924. They point out, however, that prosecutions for such behavior have been rare because of difficulties proving intent to kill or to transmit the virus. Id. at 926-27 (noting that risky behavior does not amount to intent to kill or transmit the virus). Thus, most cases prosecuted under traditional criminal statutes have involved defendants who expressed an intention to kill or transmit the virus. Id. at 937. Out of approximately thirty prosecutions for HIV-related conduct, only four or five cases involved a defendant who did not express such an intention. Id. at 938. See generally Jennifer Grishkin, Case Note, Knowingly Exposing Another to HIV, 106 Yale L.J. 1617 (1997) (arguing that the court's decision in Maryland v. Smallwood, 680 A.2d

    • For an empirical analysis of how different disclosure rules affect attorney behavior, see Leslie C. Levin, Testing the Radical Experiment: A Study of Lawyer Response to Clients Who Intend to Harm Others, 47 Rutgers L. Rev 81 (1994). In her study of New Jersey lawyers, Levin finds that few lawyers have ever disclosed information in order to prevent the client from harming another. Id. at 128-30. Even lawyers required to disclose under the ethical rule were reluctant to do so; only about half actually disclosed. Id. at 129.

Thus, to formulate an appropriate strategy, lawyers need to be apprised of such details. See Rivera, supra note 7, at 891-95

Some commentators suggest, however, that the added inducement of confidentiality is unnecessary to encourage client candor. See Deborah L. Rhode, Ethical Perspectives on Legal Practice, 37 Stanford L.

The potential harm from disclosure in the hypothetical scenario described here, however, suggests that confidentiality is vital to ensure full disclosure.

    • Sarah could also withdraw from representation. See Model Rules, supra note 12, Rule 1.16(b) ("[A] lawyer may withdraw from representing a client if withdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client . . . ."); Model Code, supra note 11, DR 2-110(C) (permitting a lawyer to withdraw if the client's conduct "renders it unreasonably difficult for the lawyer to carry out his employment effectively"). Here, Sarah arguably has discretion to withdraw under the Model Rules because such withdrawal would have no effect on his estate planning representation - Matthew could just go to another lawyer within Sarah's organization. Likewise, under the Model Code, Sarah arguably has discretion to withdraw if she feels that her moral beliefs make it impossible for her to effectively represent Matthew. Despite this discretion, Sarah likely will decide against withdrawal. Instead, she will accept representation and promise confidentiality, hoping that she can persuade Matthew to disclose for himself.

    • Luban himself recognizes this risk and agrees that certain civil matters, particularly those between powerless individuals and private megaliths, demand the protections of the adversary system. See Luban, supra note 74, at 65. He accordingly reformulates the "criminal defense paradigm" to include: any litigation context in which zealous advocacy on behalf of relatively weak clients is justified by virtue of the fact that we have political reasons to aim at prophylactic, or preemptive, overprotection of the individual from powerful institutions (including the state, but also including private institutions), even at the expense of justice. Id.; see also Rhode, Perspectives, supra note 42, at 606 (noting that some civil cases are characterized by the same disparity of power between parties as criminal proceedings). Although Luban accounts for weak clients, he only does so in litigation contexts where the client is clearly overpowered; in what Deborah Rhode calls the "David and Goliath paradigm." Id. at 607. This situation, where Sarah acts in a non-litigation context for her powerless client, would fall outside of Luban's exception despite the particular importance of client loyalty and autonomy. See Tremblay, supra note 74, at 58 (suggesting that one would need a much broader exception to encompass such matters but questioning whether a broad exception could be justified).

    • This alternative form of moral reasoning was identified by Carol Gilligan in her ground-breaking book, In a Different Voice. See Carol Gilligan, In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Development (1989) [hereinafter Gilligan, Different Voice]. Gilligan performed three psychological studies to observe the relationship between judgment and action in situations of moral conflict and choice. Id. at 2. In one study where a boy and a girl are asked to consider a moral dilemma, Gilligan observes that the boy addresses the problem using deductive logic to differentiate morality from the law. Id. at 26-27. The girl, however, sees "a world comprised of relationships rather than of people standing alone, a world that coheres through human connection rather than through systems of rules." Id. at 29. Although both children see a need for resolution, he sees it "impersonally through systems of logic and law" while "she personally through communication in relationship." Id. On this and similar results, Gilligan concludes that women's moral development is not inferior to that of men's; instead, it is fully developed, but simply different. She sees the contrasting images of hierarchy and network as two distinct, yet complimentary views of morality. Id. at 33. In writing this book, Gilligan hoped to expand the understanding of human moral development by including women, whose absence from the psychological literature has generally been interpreted as indicating inferior moral development in women. Id. at 1-2. Despite this feminist purpose, Gilligan has received much criticism from other feminists who fear that labeling certain attributes as "female" only reinforces limiting stereotypes about women. See Cahn, supra note 101, at 1051 ("[By labeling styles as male or female], we risk perpetuating the very subordination of 'the female voice' that many of us, as feminists, are trying to overcome."); Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Portia in a Different Voice: Speculations on a Women's Lawyering Process, 1 Berkeley Women's L.J. 39, 41 (1985) [hereinafter Menkel-Meadow, Portia] ("Attributing behavior characteristics to a particular gender is problematic, because . . . we risk perpetuating the conventional stereotypes that prevent us from seeing the qualities as qualities without their gendered context."); Deborah L. Rhode, Gender and Professional Roles, 63 Fordham L. Rev. 39, 42 (1994) [hereinafter Rhode, Gender] (warning that the celebration of gender differences risks both oversimplifying - because there is no "generic woman" - and overclaiming - because such sweeping sex-based dichotomies do not exist). Nevertheless, this largely academic debate has resulted in some agreement. Most, even Gilligan, agree that the ethic of care does not characterize all women, and is characteristic of some men. Gilligan, Different Voice, supra, at 2 (stating that the different voice is characterized not by gender but by theme); see Cahn, supra note 101, at 1053 (suggesting that many men and most women actually combine aspects of each moral orientation); Menkel-Meadow, Portia, supra, at 48 (arguing that any mature person should be able to consider both types of moral analyses); Rhode, Gender, supra, at 42 (noting that recent research generally finds "few attributes on which the sexes consistently vary"). Thus, the ethic of care has been recast as a form of moral reasoning inherent to every mature person, woman or man. Legal scholars have since introduced the ethic of care as an alternative model of legal ethics. See Stephen Ellmann, The Ethic of Care as an Ethic for Lawyers, 81 Geo. L.J. 2665 (1993). Ellmann's article offers a provocative account of how the ethic of care might transform the lawyering process. Similarly, Naomi Cahn, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, and Deborah Rhode have addressed how an ethic of care might affect lawyering and the legal profession. See generally Cahn, supra note 101 (analyzing different lawyering methods as a way to transform the legal practice); Menkel-Meadow, Portia, supra (focusing on how the inclusion of women's voices will expand our understanding of the lawyering process); Rhode, Gender, supra (seeking to advocate a vision of professionalism that includes women's experiences as based on feminist commitments rather than biological categories). For a study documenting the ethic of care as it is used by both women and men lawyers, see Rand Jack & Dana Crowley Jack, Moral Vision and Professional Decisions: The Changing Values of Women and Men Lawyers (1989).

Id. at 29. Although both children see a need for resolution, he sees it "impersonally through systems of logic and law" while "she personally through communication in relationship." Id. On this and similar results, Gilligan concludes that women's moral development is not inferior to that of men's; instead, it is fully developed, but simply different. She sees the contrasting images of hierarchy and network as two distinct, yet complimentary views of morality. Id. at 33. In writing this book, Gilligan hoped to expand the understanding of human moral development by including women, whose absence from the psychological literature has generally been interpreted as indicating inferior moral development in women. Id. at 1-2. Despite this feminist purpose, Gilligan has received much criticism from other feminists who fear that labeling certain attributes as "female" only reinforces limiting stereotypes about women. See Cahn, supra note 101, at 1051 ("[By labeling styles as male or female], we risk perpetuating the very subordination of 'the female voice' that many of us, as feminists, are trying to overcome."); Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Portia in a Different Voice: Speculations on a Women's Lawyering Process, 1 Berkeley Women's L.J. 39, 41 (1985) [hereinafter Menkel-Meadow, Portia] ("Attributing behavior characteristics to a particular gender is problematic, because . . . we risk perpetuating the conventional stereotypes that prevent us from seeing the qualities as qualities without their gendered context."); Deborah L. Rhode, Gender and Professional Roles, 63 Fordham L. Rev. 39, 42 (1994) [hereinafter Rhode, Gender] (warning that the celebration of gender differences risks both oversimplifying - because there is no "generic woman" - and overclaiming - because such sweeping sex-based dichotomies do not exist). Nevertheless, this largely academic debate has resulted in some agreement. Most, even Gilligan, agree that the ethic of care does not characterize all women, and is characteristic of some men. Gilligan, Different Voice, supra, at 2 (stating that the different voice is characterized not by gender but by theme); see Cahn, supra note 101, at 1053 (suggesting that many men and most women actually combine aspects of each moral orientation); Menkel-Meadow, Portia, supra, at 48 (arguing that any mature person should be able to consider both types of moral analyses); Rhode, Gender, supra, at 42 (noting that recent research generally finds "few attributes on which the sexes consistently vary"). Thus, the ethic of care has been recast as a form of moral reasoning inherent to every mature person, woman or man. Legal scholars have since introduced the ethic of care as an alternative model of legal ethics. See Stephen Ellmann, The Ethic of Care as an Ethic for Lawyers, 81 Geo. L.J. 2665 (1993). Ellmann's article offers a provocative account of how the ethic of care might transform the lawyering process. Similarly, Naomi Cahn, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, and Deborah Rhode have addressed how an ethic of care might affect lawyering and the legal profession. See generally Cahn, supra note 101 (analyzing different lawyering methods as a way to transform the legal practice); Menkel-Meadow, Portia, supra (focusing on how the inclusion of women's voices will expand our understanding of the lawyering process); Rhode, Gender, supra (seeking to advocate a vision of professionalism that includes women's experiences as based on feminist commitments rather than biological categories). For a study documenting the ethic of care as it is used by both women and men lawyers, see Rand Jack & Dana Crowley Jack, Moral Vision and Professional Decisions: The Changing Values of Women and Men Lawyers (1989).
