The California State Bar on Saturday adopted the nation's first rule banning lawyers from having sex with clients in most situations. Passed 18-4 by the bar's Board of Governors, the rule stops short of an absolute ban on sexual activity between clients and lawyers. But it bars attorneys from demanding or requiring sexual relations from clients. Also, lawyers will have the burden of proving their actions were not wrong if clients complain to the bar about sexual misconduct The state Supreme Court must approve the rule before it becomes binding on California's 128,000 licensed attorneys.
