The juvenile's suit was filed. The defendants, after discovery, moved for dismissal on the basis that the juvenile had not authorized the suit for money damages and no longer wished to pursue the matter. The juvenile, in private conference with a district court judge, indicated that Respondent called to his attention how the facilities were crowded, suggested that he file a lawsuit, and provided papers for his signature which included a demand for money damages. The judge dismissed the suit and reported the matter to the bar association. The action was referred to the state supreme court for further directions after the action before the bar association was terminated. The court cited DR 2-104(A) (3) and DR 2-103(D) (1) (c) as the applicable code provisions. The issue was whether it was unethical for a lawyer employed by the Legal Services Corporation, whose purpose is to provide legal assistance to indigents, to approach a juvenile, Editors: David G.
