432	57	III.B.2. Barratry is relevant to Kassab's defenses of attorney immunity and judicial proceedings privilege	Attorney immunity: Cites Bradt, Youngkin, Cantey Hanger, Bethel, and Taylor v. Tolbert for attorney immunity even covering alleged criminal conduct connected to client representation. Taylor is highlighted — attorney accused of violating wiretapping laws was immune because conduct fell within attorney immunity. The First Court of Appeals already characterized Kassab's conduct as arising from legal services. Cites Clayton and Haynes & Boone for immunity extending to pre-litigation and business transaction conduct. Judicial proceedings privilege: Cites Landry's for absolute privilege covering all aspects of proceedings including preliminary communications. Kassab's solicitation letters and barratry litigation are protected. Cites Crain and Highland Capital. Question No. 8 on Kassab's proposed jury charge incorporates these defenses.
