Based upon the following scenario, have you done anything unethical based upon the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) Model Ethical Guidelines?
Your first day on the job you were allowed to interview your very first "real" client -- Justin King!! After years of working towards the new job, you are so excited that you call your partner and arrange for a very nice dinner together. During the dinner, of course, your partner asks you "So Tell Me What You Did Today?" Well, you are so proud of your new job that you begin to discuss some general details about the case, like Justin's name, that he was in an accident, and is very disfigured. Your partner is intrigued and presses you for more information.
Without realizing it, you blurt out that Justin was the finalist in the National Idol competition and is going to sue some big companies and make lots of money! Have you done anything unethical?
Post a short answer on the discussion board for this hypothetical using the IRAC (Issue-Rule-Application-Conclusion) method of analysis.
