The following discussion question addresses ethical rules
regarding client confidentiality. After reviewing assigned
course materials and conducting brief research on any pertinent
laws, including state bar rules of professional conduct and
disciplinary cases in your jurisdiction, answer the following
discussion question.
You work for a major law firm representing a famous
entertainer, Jane Lou. Her former boyfriend who has taken nude
photos of her wants to publish them in a tabloid. Lou has
retained your firm to represent her in a case to prevent the
tabloid from publishing the photos. She brings copies of the
photos to the firm. Your attorney gives them to you and asks
you to file them. As you glance through the photos prior to
filing them away, you are called out of your office on an urgent
matter. In your hurry you leave the photos in an envelope on
your desk intending to file them away later. When you come
back to your office, the photos are gone. They appear in another
tabloid the next day. Lou is now suing your firm, your attorney,
and you for malpractice.
Based on the above information, answer the following
questions:
Identify who is liable and what causes of action Lou may have
against you, your attorney, and the firm.
In addition, examine any defenses that may be available.
