    People bring it up because they are smart enough to understand “we investigated ourselves and found no signs of wrongdoing” is not a defense.

    Already explained it elsewhere but, the super short version is: Law firms are nor mandatory reporters outside of the most extreme cases. They are not investigating wrongdoing. They are investigating liability. They are looking for what was done in writing and what can be explained in the event of a lawsuit (and discovery).
