Discuss the pros and cons of submitting your résumé to a firm by e-mail.?
What will be an ideal response?
Student answers might include the following:• PROS: E-mail is faster than regular mail or express delivery services and can be immediately available to the firm.• CONS: E-mail résumés do not look as nice as hard-copy résumés, and some firms are not used to receiving submissions via e-mail. Attorneys generally prefer traditional résumés. If an advertisement lists an e-mail address, it is best to submit the application via e-mail and follow up with a printed copy of the letter and résumé as well.

Paralegal Beverly was sitting with Client Morrie, reading through Morrie's interrogatory answers from last year in preparation for Morrie's upcoming deposition. After reading one particular interrogatory response, Morrie declared: "OMG, Beverly! I can't believe we wrote that answer! That's completely wrong!" and then, mumbling to himself, Morrie said, "or maybe that was the lie I decided would be
better than telling the truth. Hmmm." When Beverly asks you what you make of that conversation with Morrie, you A) tell her that it is not protected by any privilege because it is potentially a confession to a crime. B) tell her that Morrie's words are completely covered by the attorney/client privilege so she will never have to repeat it to anyone outside of the office, but she should report the potential perjury to a supervising attorney. C) tell her that it is not a protected communication because she is not an attorney. D) tell her that it is protected confidential information so she cannot be called upon to testify about it.
