I do not play in that sand box, so I have to ask, how will that work?


I assume there will be diversity so that the case will be removable under 28 usc 1332 (if the judgment is that big, they won't stipulate). I would submit the claim against the law firm is a fraudulent jointer for the purposes of defeating diversity. Once there, assuming the facts are as you say, this would be a completely baseless suit with no good faith grounds. Should be sanctionable in Louisiana, but judges (elected) never do that. Federal judges will drop a hammer.

Given that malpractice is purely personal and not assignable, I think you are correct.
