Washington’s Supreme Court unanimously adopts an amendment to RPC 4.4 expressly prohibiting lawyers from asserting or inquiring about a person’s immigration status when the purpose is to intimidate, coerce, or obstruct that person from participating in a civil matter. SGB attorney M. Lorena Gonzalez and Dan Ford of Columbia Legal Services, led advocacy efforts to secure the amendment, which becomes effective on September 1, 2013.
