Question re legal conduct in a social media situation?

[Indigo Girl]

What is the name of your state? California

Hi, I just registered and am new here. I have a question about a legal matter but am not personally involved in it myself, so would I be able to ask that here?

It is actually quite a high profile case and I could post some direct links to what is happening, if that is allowed (it's on youtube). I would appreciate a legal perspective on it because it appears to be a situation that is escalating and to me, it appears to be very unusual legal 'conduct' in this situation. I am quite concerned about some of what I am seeing and do not know why it appears no control is being brought to this situation. But I have very little knowledge or experience of legal matters myself, so I'm not sure of its status or where it should go from here.

It involves two parties (one who is a very well known identity), each with a civil case against each other.

I could provide more details but if it is not the right question for this forum, please let me know and forgive me. (This is a real situation and serious enquiry.)

Try to sum up the problem without video and perhaps we can clear up your confusion.

Why is it such a concern to you?
What US state are you in?

What "unusual legal conduct" do you see that makes you think it could be a legal ethics issue or lawyer malpractice?

Here, for Indigo Girl in case she returns, is a link to California's attorney Rules of Professional Conduct, where she can perhaps find an answer to the "legal ethics/lawyer malpractice" question on the high profile case that she has interest in:
