The Montana State Bar Association
maintains an excellent website, which contains many links and items of interest.
E.g., Montana state law research, and links to the courts. Try it
first if you are looking for something involving the Montana law or lawyers.
In Montana, to prevail on a claim for legal malpractice, a plaintiff must show:
(1) the existence of an attorney-client relationship; (2) acts of negligence
occurring during the relationship; (3) "but for" such acts of
negligence the client would have been successful in prosecution or defense of
the action; and (4) that the negligence of the attorney proximately caused
damage to the client. See Lorash v. Epstein, 236 Mont. 21, 767 P.2d 1335 (1985).
