You get 10 points if you can answer this question:

In our law and rules there are transgressions that can be treated as contempt, and there are some that can be sanctioned by removal or disqualification of the attorney.

What action or or omission of an attorney ” … will be considered a grave discourtesy?”

      Well, you shattered one of my cherished myths, which is that if you want to hide something where lawyers won’t find it, hide it in the Uniform Chancery Court Rules! Rule 3.11 says that “Any negligent or willful failure on the part of counsel to fully argue or brief any question when requested to do so by the Chancellor will be considered a grave discourtesy.” You get the 10 points. Good job.
