Question
A lawyer who took a case to court [in a manner permitted by Halacha] some time before the statute of limitations expired, and the lawyer neglected the case, is the lawyer obligated to pay for the damage?
Answer
If it is clear that the plaintiff would have won the case, and the defendant would have paid, the lawyer is obligated to pay, according to the law of 'showing a dinar to a money changer'.
