Answer: C - Paul's best course of action is to inform Mr. Solo, because Mr. Solo has an obligation inform the court and insure a fair trial. Attorneys in a litigation case owe a duty to the court to insure a fair trial process, and this rule extends to employees of litigation attorneys. Since jurors are prohibited from discussing a case prior to the verdict, the juror's comments may have unfairly prejudiced the trial process. Answer A is incorrect because it could take advantage of the unfairness. Answer B is incorrect because, as counsel for one of the parties, Mr. Solo cannot speak with jurors before the verdict. Answer D is incorrect because Paul, as Solo's employee, is also prohibited from speaking to jurors.
