Newser reports that lawyers in California are upset by a proposed new law that would ban any sexual relations between lawyers and their clients.

According to the report, a state bar commission has proposed California join 17 other states that have already banned sex between lawyers and clients with the exception of pre-existing relationships.

Anyone found violating the law could have their legal license revoked.  Under the existing law, sex is prohibited if the lawyer-client sexual relations cause the lawyer to “perform legal services incompetently” or if sex has been demanded “incident to or as a condition of any professional representation.”

Proponents of the bill claim that it is ethically wrong for lawyers to sleep with their clients because clients are vulnerable in situations that would require a lawyer. The proposed law has drawn the ire of some lawyers that say it should not discipline lawyers who want to have sexual relations with a consenting adult.
