Article Abstract:
New York State Bar Ass'n v. Reno declared unconstitutional a law preventing lawyers from advising clients about legal asset transfer strategies making it possible for them to quality for Medicaid, but Attorney General Janet Reno had declared even before the ruling that she also considered the law unconstitutional and ordered US attorneys not to prosecute such cases. The Justice Department had only one defense in the case, that it was not yet ripe for decision because no one had been charged under the law.
