Attorneys and paralegals must communicate with clients, and
they often do so through letters. This assignment will require
you to use your writing skills to draft a letter to a client—to be
reviewed and signed by your supervising attorney (instructor)—
to explain your assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of
the case to your client, who is a nonlegal audience. The client
letter will be based on your initial analysis of the text materials
regarding the elements of libel and the organization of the court
system.
In your letter, you will:
Provide an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the
client's case.
Describe the process of litigation particular to the hypothetical
case.
Outline the parameters, rights and responsibilities, and ethical
obligations of the attorney-client relationship.
Make sure your assessment includes:
The proper cause of action and court jurisdiction
Elements of the tort (defamation in this case)
A description of the attorney-client relationship addressing
confidentiality and privilege
Include a statement regarding the paralegal's role in the
litigation process. Attachments to the letter shall include
agreement for services (retainer agreement) and a billing
schedule statement.
