Character slander is the disparaging of another person's good qualities (like honesty, integrity, etc.) by falsey stating that he or she possesses either none of those qualities or possesses the exact opposite of those qualities. It has been said that lawyers, such as myself, are not permitted to sue for character slander for obvious reasons.
