Why are attorneys responsible for the misconduct of their nonlawyer assistants, including paralegals?
What will be an ideal response?
Two primary reasons: (a) Both the ABA Model Code and the ABA Model Rules (adopted in
some form in every jurisdiction) place the burden of responsibility on lawyers and (b)
irrespective of that, because paralegals/legal assistants are not licensed (but they work for
lawyers), sanctioning courts are without power to apply the rules of conduct to unlicensed
persons.
