Re: What ever happened to the American barter system?
"According to the petition, there are no other documented cases in Pennsylvania involving a violation of Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 1.8(j), which became effective January 1, 2005, and prohibits sexual relations between a lawyer and a client regardless of whether it's consensual and whether it prejudices the client."
Hypothetically, if the client is a prostitute and Pennsylvania law prohibits sexual relations with her attorney, couldn't that be construed as restraint of trade?

The Constitution prohibits laws which impairs a party's contract rights. Seems to me Rule 1.8(j) is unconstitutional.

Constitutionally-protected nookie. It's why being an American in a beautiful thing.
