I, amah853, move to append the following text underneath Section Relations between lawyers to the BAR Code of Conduct:
Communication with Represented Parties
A lawyer shall not communicate directly with a party they know to be represented by legal counsel regarding an ongoing legal matter, unless the representing lawyer has given consent or the communication is otherwise authorized by law or court order.
This restriction shall not prevent communication between parties themselves, nor communication unrelated to the legal matter.
