A paralegal works for a sole practitioner who practices mainly in personal injury law. At a time prior to hiring the paralegal, the attorney prepared a brochure outlining what a person should do if injured. The brochure includes information on getting medical treatment, dealing with an insurance company, keeping records, etc. The brochure also contains the attorney’s name, office address, and telephone number. The paralegal sees a person lying on the ground after a hit-and-run incident. The paralegal helps the injured person by providing emergency first aid until an ambulance arrives. The next day, the paralegal visits the injured person in the hospital and gives her a copy of the brochure. Can the paralegal’s conduct result in discipline against the attorney?

Jane is an attorney at a mid-size law firm and represents Maxwell Riding Mowers (MRM), which manufactures riding lawn mowers. The president of MRM calls Jane one day and tells her about a newspaper story involving a riding lawn mower that caught on fire and injured the person operating it. The president believes that MRM manufactured the riding lawn mower over three years ago. He also stated that he discovered business records showing that a number of lawn mowers manufactured by MRM left the factory without a safety inspection. The riding lawn mower in the newspaper story was manufactured about the time of the safety inspection records. The president then tells Jane that MRM routinely destroys safety inspection records after three years and that he intends to destroy the records he found, unless Jane says otherwise. Ethically, can Jane advise the president to destroy the records?
