United States v. Kovel

Defendant is a non-lawyer accountant who has worked on income tax issues with a law firm whose employer was being prosecuted. He was sentenced to contempt for failure to address a request that said the entitled attorney-client had submitted to him. Justice Friendly issued the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals' opinion that the right of the attorney-client may extend to the complainant based on whether the correspondence were for legal counsel or accounting counsel obtaining.

Brown v. Hammond

Plaintiff employee sued defendants, her previous employer, who was a law firm, and one of its employees, alleging defendants fired her in breach of public policies for reporting their supposedly illegal billing activities to clients and officials and for failing to conduct such unlawful actions. She also alleged that the acts of the defendants were designed to inflict injury to her in order to constitute a "prima facie torture." Defendants lodged a motion to dismiss. The court granted partial motion to the defendants. The court accepted the request to the degree that it tried to deny the arguments of the plaintiff that the defendants dismissed her in violation of public policy on the grounds of her acts of disclosing the supposedly wrongful actions of the defendants and that their activities represented a "prima facie persecution." The court rejected the request in relation to her argument that she was fired in violation of public policy for failing to behave wrongfully.
