Attorney must advise Judge if indictable charges pending . In the Matter of Jack Seelig, an Attorney at Law 180 NJ 234 (2004). Neither the client's Sixth Amendment rights nor any other duty to the client would prohibit an attorney in the circumstances of this case from informing the municipal court about pending indictable charges against the client. RPC 3.3(a)(5) requires disclosure in these circumstances to prevent a court from being misled by the attorney's silence. No discipline was imposed on Jack L. Seelig, however, because he acted in good faith and the issue presented is novel.
