Misrepresentations
I also agree with your position Alicia. Comment 1 of rule 4.1 states that "misrepresentations can also occur by partially true but misleading statements or omissions that are the equivalent of affirmative false statements." If the lawyer failed to disclose this information it could be considered as misleading and/or omission, which can lead to disciplinary actions. I also think Erica points out some great

    Mickl V. Murphy's Violation Of Bankruptcy Cases

    Michelle would not fall under the “umbrella of,” that she has now by working directly under the guidance and supervision of the attorney. This is according to the case of Mickel v. Murphy (1957) 147 Cal.App.2d 718, 721. She is also in violation of the law according, to the case of Anderson (1987) 79 B.R. 482, 485. In summary, of when a paralegal is, “assisting with bankruptcies answered legal questions and assisted in legal decisions, all of which acts "require the exercise of legal judgement beyond the knowledge and capacity of the lay person.” Michelle has stepped outside her boundaries and would be in violation of the…

    Persuader Rule Case Study

    The basis for their argument is that by requiring lawyers to file detailed reports with the Department stating the identity of their employer clients, the nature of the representation and the types of legal task performed, and the receipt and disbursement of legal fees whenever the lawyer provides advice, the Proposed Rule could chill and seriously undermine the confidential client-lawyer relationship. The DOL states that “in the Department’s view, none of the information required to be reported under the Persuader rule is protected as a general rule by attorney client privilege. The DOL is incorrect in this view, because under Rule 1.05 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct and Rule 1.6 of the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct, confidential client information that an attorney is barred from disclosing includes both privileged and unprivileged information.…

    Seven False Beliefs Analysis

    Accordingly to Dr. Michael V. Miranda’s article “The Seven False Beliefs: Addressing The Psychosocial Underpreparedness Of The Community College Student” he argue that community college students not college ready due to the seven false beliefs his main focus is on the personal characteristics, persistence, and academics success as a student learns about themselves which makes the process of getting a better education. My overall reaction is that the teachers knowing the student’s personality could help them with the steps of getting through college successfully without noticing that they were unprepared like they are quick or slow learners what makes them want to give up also make it easier for them.…

    Example of Irac

    The first relevant ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) is Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information). Rule 1.6(a) prohibits a lawyer from revealing information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation or the disclosure is permitted by (b) where a lawyer may reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary. The second RPC to be considered is Rule 1.16 (Declining or Terminating Representation). Rule 1.16(a)(1) prohibits the continuing representation of a client when the representation will result in a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Finally, we must consider RPC is Rule 3.3 (Candor Toward the Tribunal). Rule 3.3(a), (b) and (c) prohibit a lawyer from making a false statement of material fact or law to a court and from failing to disclose a material fact necessary to avoid assisting the client in a criminal or fraudulent act. Rule 3.3(c) also prohibits a lawyer from knowingly offering false evidence.…

    The Cruel False Misinterpretation

    In spite of the fact that this misinterpretation is gradually dissolving because of training and "neediness" turning into a hotly debated issue in legislative issues and conventional media circuits, many Americans stay unconvinced that destitution exists. To the individuals who know the substances of destitution and the seriousness of the problem in America, it is presumably mind boggling that this confusion is still a typically held conviction.…

    Paralegals role in the legal system

    Attorneys have the American Bar Association to enforce their ethical behavior, likewise paralegals have their own associations. “Two major legal assistant organizations that provide an ethical code for their members are the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) and the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA)” Id. At 36. Under no circumstances should a paralegal misrepresent themselves as a lawyer. If they do they are committing the unauthorized practice of law. Ethical guidelines differ from state to state.…

    Misinformation in America

    Michael Adair­Kriz WCL 2351 1 March 2010 Third Journal As I read through Edward Said’s “Orientalism,” it became clear that like everyone else, the West also had many prejudices and preconceived notions about people from the other side. It’s important to realize that Edward Said will be regarded as one of the most respected thinkers and cultural critics of our time. I have yet to finish his book but many of Said’s ideas are very clear even before finish his book. According to Mr. Said, differences should be respected and understood without coercion and/or duress. We must try our best towards achieving a good and reasonable understanding of other cultures and people from across various backgrounds. When Christopher Columbus arrived in what is present­day Haiti, he was greeted by the native people who had brought all sorts of gifts and goods to trade, in addition to food for the crew and the captain onboard Santa Maria and other ships. This gesture of kindness however was soon to have been punished severely. The natives were captured and taken as slaves aboard Columbus’ ships. Christopher Columbus’ insatiable lust and appetite for gold and its conquest caused much bloodshed and resulted in many massacres. The pillaging and plundering of native lands and its people has been much overlooked by the mainstream historians who end up being studied by the public education systems across the United States.…
