It was a bad time for advising former students, after a well-known law professor at Notre Dame was sanctioned for an ethics violation for telling a former student to disclose confidential client documents.
G. Robert Blakey, who is known for writing federal anti-racketeering laws, advised Adriana Koeck, a former in-house lawyer for General Electric Co., to release documents that she felt contained proof of fraud at her company. She released the documents to a reporter, a federal prosecutor and the SEC, in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
