Legal Answers
Q. A lawyer is having a conference call with me soon. I am representing myself in this case. Can I have a friend listen in?
A: You certainly may offer to speak on the phone with this lawyer so long as you inform him or her that you will have someone listen in and take notes. But make sure that you announce in advance the presence of this person on the call. Then, the lawyer certainly has the prerogative not to speak with you with someone else on the call. Please do not record the call without the lawyer's permission because, to secretly record without permission could constitute a crime in certain states, including in Connecticut.
