The firm has a policy that each paralegal and lawyer must do at least 100 hours of pro bono work but the firm typically takes on a big pro bono case that they can all work on together. This year, the case the firm took on involves antitrust litigation and it is pretty complex. Coty doesn't really

understand the work that he is asked to do on the case but he isn't concerned because "it's just a pro bono case." As Coty's friend, you should A) tell Coty that he is a fiduciary regardless of the pro bono status of the case, and so he must always act with complete loyalty and good faith toward every client. B) keep your mouth closed. If Coty gets in trouble, that's his problem. C) tell Coty that he's probably right but he should document his lack of concern in the file. D) tell Coty that he is not responsible for working on the case because he is in the family law department.
