Moe Howard was a partner in a large firm and specialized in trust law instrument creation. One of his best assistants was Curly Joe Besser. Curly had not yet taken the bar exam but was a very bright 3L who had worked in a bank trust department before beginning law school. Moe agreed to create a trust instrument for Larry Fine, who wanted to sign the trust documents on June 10th. Unexpectedly, on June 9th Moe had to travel to Washington D.C. for a congressional hearing. Moe arranged for Curly Joe to draft the complicated trust instrument. The trust documents were ready on time, and Larry signed the documents on June 10th as planned. Is Moe subject to discipline because of this conduct?
