Explain the Miranda warning.
What will be an ideal response?
It is pointless to give rights to people if they do not know they have these rights. Therefore, under Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that before questioning begins, police are required to inform any person in custody of the right to remain silent, that anything
said can and will be used against him/her, the right to an attorney during questioning, the possibility to having a free attorney if he/she cannot afford one, and that at anytime during the questioning, he/she can stop and the interrogation will end. If these warnings are not read to an accused person, any information given during his interrogation may not be used against him in court.

What will be an ideal response?
Ethan Lawyer is in a hurry today (just like every day.) As he is running out the door to a hearing, he says to Isabella Paralegal "Call Ms. Client and tell her that she should not pay the tax penalty because IRS Code 502 says she doesn't have to." Later that day, Isabella calls Ms. Client and says "Ms. Client? This is Isabella at Ethan Lawyer's office. I'm calling to say that you should not pay the tax penalty. IRS Code 502 says that you don't have to." Isabella:
a) probably did not commit UPL because telling the client not to pay a tax penalty is not legal advice. b) probably did not commit UPL because she was acting as the conduit of information from Lawyer to Client. c) probably did not commit UPL because she did not understand the information. She just passed it along. d) probably committed UPL because she gave Ms. Client legal advice.
