A Connecticut court agreed with an insurance compnay who asserted that "The perverted act of intentionally fondling the bare bottoms of female clients cannot and is not part of the practice of law." The question came up when an attorney's client sued for malpractice because the lawyer had been convicted of spanking her in order to.. ahem.. prepare her for cross-examination on the witness stand. The court ruled that spanking was not covered by the malpractice insurance policy and so the insurance company could not be sued by the humiliated frmer client.
No word yet on whether spanking constitutes the practice of law in New York or Arkansas.
