You Aren't Covered!

The Oregon State Bar Liability Insurance program is refusing to cover a law firm that suffered a $150,000 loss to a thieving secretary.  According to the Courthouse New Service, the law firm knew they were hiring a secretary with a propensity to embezzle (image, Janet Leigh, the greatest fictional embezzling secretary); and, as a consequence the Bar Association insurance carrier denied liability.  This is an excerpt form the CNS stroy:

Oregon State Bar says its Professional Liability Fund should not have to cover a law firm that hired a secretary with a history of theft who forged checks and embezzled $150,000 from an estate.
