most law suits are not all that public. when was the last time you read the
pleadings of any lawsuit? Unless the client is a public figure or the
behavior is such that it would catch the interest of a general or sleaze
newspaper, the risk is not that great of it being made public. I have seen
however, divorcing couples use this type of information.
Jim Maguire
I suppose by 'public' I meant any other party outside the counselling triad of counsellor client supervisor. After all, the client may not know how far the information may go once proceedings start or who may read documents pertaining to them. Do you not think that such considerations might well be influential in stopping a client from pursuing a claim?
Best wishes
