I think it is SOP for all lawyers who end up on a big time case to write a book afterwards....? Or not? Maybe I am thinking of the prosecutors, such as OJ, Charles Manson, etc.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....great question. I'm sure they have a deal cut with each other for splitting up the profits. Let's see....1/2 of $100 = Not Much
I just asked a lawyer friend and he cited this: According to Bar Rule 1.8(d), [p]rior to the conclusion of representation of a client, a lawyer shall not make or negotiate an agreement giving the lawyer literary or media rights to a portrayal or account based in substantial part on information relating to the representation.
That implies that the attorney DOES need to get permission from their client, which surely also implies Casey is getting a cut.
