Abbey is working late one evening and hears a grinding noise coming from a room down the hall from her office. She creeps down the hall and peeks in the door. Inside, she sees one of her supervising lawyers standing over the paper shredder, feeding in papers that look like Mr. Snodgrass' business receipts and invoices. Abbey should do what, if anything?
What will be an ideal response?
If Abbey witnesses one of her supervising lawyers standing over the paper shredder with what looks like Mr. Snodgrass’ business receipts and invoices Abbey should, still keep the information on those invoices confidential. The lawyer shredding the receipts and invoices however, are not confidential and could constitute the “lawyer’s intent to commit a fraud upon the court.” To prevent the commission of a crime in court, Abbey should tell a different supervising lawyer what she witnessed as the shredding of papers “may not be covered by the duty of confidentiality” and could help in the prevention of a crime.
