Internаtiоnаl Fооd Corporаtion (IFC) has hired Attorney to research its liability under various food quality laws around the world and advise it on how best to comply with them. IFC is one of the world’s largest corporations, with manufacturing, distribution, and sales in many countries. Attorney discovers that certain developing nations where IFC makes and sells food have few or no food quality laws; in those nations, subdivisions of the company offload lower quality food products originally intended for developed nation markets. Attorney begins explaining the social and public relations problems with using some countries as disposals for substandard food, even where the countries have no laws regulating minimum quality standards. Attorney believes that these broader issues are relevant, even where IFCs conduct is legal. As Attorney begins to explain these broader issues, the IFC in-house general counsel cuts off Attorney, saying, "just give us the legal information; we want to comply with the law. We don't need your opinion on the rest." Under the Model Rules, which of the following is true?
Attоrney Jоrdаn is а litigаtоr in a three-person law firm of Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. Two years ago, his partner, Pippen, drafted and negotiated a commercial lease for a long-time client, Phil. The lease negotiations were contentious, and Pippen was the only person present (other than Phil and the landlord) during a key in-person meeting. A dispute has now arisen. Phil claims the landlord breached the lease. Landlord's defense rests on an alleged oral waiver of a specific clause, which the landlord claims Phil made during that key meeting. Phil denies making any such waiver. Attorney Jordan has filed a lawsuit for Phil against the landlord and is preparing to act as the lead trial counsel. The landlord's attorney has informed Attorney that they intend to call Pippen as a witness at trial to testify about what was said at the key meeting. Phil has also confirmed that Pippen's testimony is essential to rebut the landlord's defense, and Pippen does confirm the client's denial. Is it proper for Attorney Jordan to act as trial counsel in this matter?
Attоrney hаs recently оpened her оwn solo prаctice, focusing on representing underserved individuаls in minor criminal, landlord-tenant, and simple civil matters. These clients cannot afford to pay much and Attorney would like to offer her services at a little below market rates to help them get at least some representation. To make that work, she will need to do a high volume of cases. Because these clients will either use her services or go without representation, she would like to have them disclaim malpractice claims in advance. While reviewing a sample contract online, she comes across a provision stating that the client waives any right to sue for malpractice. Thinking this could provide her with added protection and allow her to serve a broader range of clients, Attorney considers adding a similar clause to her own retainer agreement. Would including this clause be ethical under the Model Rules?
Prоfessiоnаl аthlete, Bert, is frequently discussed оn а local sports talk podcast. One morning, during a discussion of Bert’s poor performance in the game last night, one of the podcast hosts suggested that Bert was out doing illegal drugs and having sex with someone other than his wife. One host then opined that maybe he’d caught some terrible sexually communicable disease leading to his poor performance while another said maybe he had given an opposing player, a long-time friend of Bert’s, the team’s playbook. Bert wants to bring a lawsuit against the podcast hosts and their production company. He visits Attorney to discuss representation. Attorney listens to Bert’s summary of the issue, runs a conflict check (which turns up no conflicts), and listens to a few minutes of the podcast in question. Attorney tells Bert that these podcasts hosts have gone too far and that such commentary is inappropriate. Attorney admits that he is not a defamation law expert and says he will review the entire podcast episode and dig into defamation law to see if Bert has a valid claim, noting that public figures often have a harder time bringing a successful defamation case than purely private citizens. Attorney says he’ll follow up with Bert the next day. Bert, concerned that Attorney did not seem all that confident about the law, contacts Lawyer Lexi, a defamation law expert to represent him; pleased with her knowledge, Bert hires her on the spot. Attorney and Bert have a very confusing conversation the next day when Attorney calls Bert to update him on the case. Which of the following is true?
