The
memorandums dated June 5, 1963, and June 10, 1963,
concerned the censure of veteran Attorneys Simon Metrik
and Jacob W. Friedman by the New York State Supreme
Court on June 4, 1963. These attorneys were charged
with "failure to uphold the honor and dignity of the
profession and failure to preserve the confidences
of a client." The client, Alicia Purdom Clark, fired
Simon Metrik after a disagreement, and Friedman, an
associate of Metrik's filed the court papers in response
to the suit against Clark. Clark had recently inherited
$10,000,000 from the estate of her husband (her thirteenth
marriage) before his death.
