I don’t think they meant “ethics rules of just lawyers.”
It’s unethical because the only reason they are trying to unsurface the leaker is so that they can potentially punish them to discourage that behavior which revealed bad behavior in the first place.

If the original comment far upthread was contemplating reporting someone to the state bar for something that didn't violate state bar ethics rules, then that's even more egregiously inflammatory.
- chrischen 7y agoThat is true, but I think those were two unrelated points. That is “... is unethical” and also “they should report to the state bar.” I believe that was the original intent of the commenter, since the sentences did not directly follow each other in his paragraph.
