State Ex Rel. Oklahoma Bar Ass'n v. Sopher , 64 O.B.A.J. 1345 ( 1993 )

OPALA, Justice,

dissenting.

This tempest-in-a-teapot factual backdrop makes this case unfit as a vehicle for today’s message of warning that (a) yesteryear’s sexual law-office games will no longer be tolerated and (b) the Bar’s disciplinary cognizance may indeed focus on a male lawyer’s display of excessive macho in the context of an attorney-client relationship. I would resist the temptation by administering a private reprimand and deferring the court’s sweeping pronouncement on a new, more sensitive, “gender-inoffensive” professional etiquette to be followed by the practicing bar.
