Case against a lawyer (11)

I believe the answer is:

malpractice

(Other definitions for malpractice that I've seen before include "Professional wrongdoing" , "abuse" , "Improper professional behaviour" , "unprofessionalism" , "Professional misconduct" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
