Though the Model Rule characterizes the relationship between a referring attorney and a handling attorney as a partnership for purposes of vicarious liability, in reality the relationship is not a partnership. The simple existence of a contract arrangement between one attorney and another providing compe...

- Modeling frivolous suits.
A model of frivolous litigation based on game theory suggests that asymmetric information increases the likelihood of frivolous suits. When the plaintiff does not know that the suit lacks merit, failure to investigate is the factor that makes the suit frivolous. Frivolous suits have an indirect cost in that they make it more difficult to settle legitimate cases. Judicial screening offers a promising method of enforcement. The analysis of frivolous litigation demonstrates the usefulness of game theory for procedural analysis.
