Misrepresentations
I also agree with your position Alicia. Comment 1 of rule 4.1 states that "misrepresentations can also occur by partially true but misleading statements or omissions that are the equivalent of affirmative false statements." If the lawyer failed to disclose this information it could be considered as misleading and/or omission, which can lead to disciplinary actions. I also think Erica points out some great

    Pa203 Unit 9 Criminal Investigation

    The duty of the paralegal was only to do a prior conflict check and make the supervising attorney aware of the conflict prior to the interview. It’s the supervising attorney’s responsibility to obtain basic facts about the case and provide the paralegal with the basic information about the client. When the supervising attorney became aware of the conflict, it was his responsibility to make the client aware and let them know he’s unable to represent them because of her being a defendant in another suit. The attorney is wrong for trying to illegally gain information from the client first to help his case. If the paralegal decided to proceed with the supervising attorney’s request, she would violate the following according to NALA Code of Ethics and Professional…

    Ls102: Introduction to Law Unit 4 Kaplan

    Rule 1.9 includes the duties to former clients, and after the termination of a client-lawyer relationship, a lawyer has certain continuing duties with respect to confidentiality and conflicts of interest and thus may not represent another client except in conformity with this Rule. (ABA, n.d) The provisions of this Rule are for the protection of former clients and can be waived if the client gives informed consent. This rule is important for lawyers because they still have an obligation of confidentiality to their former clients, and the lawyer cannot reveal anything the former client had said unless the client gives consent to do so. The former client cannot be an example for the new client, and cannot be treated the same as the former client was.…

    Accordingly to Dr. Michael V. Miranda’s article “The Seven False Beliefs: Addressing The Psychosocial Underpreparedness Of The Community College Student” he argue that community college students not college ready due to the seven false beliefs his main focus is on the personal characteristics, persistence, and academics success as a student learns about themselves which makes the process of getting a better education.

    Misinformation in America

    Michael Adair­Kriz WCL 2351 1 March 2010 Third Journal As I read through Edward Said’s “Orientalism,” it became clear that like everyone else, the West also had many prejudices and preconceived notions about people from the other side. It’s important to realize that Edward Said will be regarded as one of the most respected thinkers and cultural critics of our time. I have yet to finish his book but many of Said’s ideas are very clear even before finish his book. According to Mr. Said, differences should be respected and understood without coercion and/or duress. We must try our best towards achieving a good and reasonable understanding of other cultures and people from across various backgrounds. When Christopher Columbus arrived in what is present­day Haiti, he was greeted by the native people who had brought all sorts of gifts and goods to trade, in addition to food for the crew and the captain onboard Santa Maria and other ships. This gesture of kindness however was soon to have been punished severely. The natives were captured and taken as slaves aboard Columbus’ ships. Christopher Columbus’ insatiable lust and appetite for gold and its conquest caused much bloodshed and resulted in many massacres. The pillaging and plundering of native lands and its people has been much overlooked by the mainstream historians who end up being studied by the public education systems across the United States.…

    In spite of the fact that this misinterpretation is gradually dissolving because of training and "neediness" turning into a hotly debated issue in legislative issues and conventional media circuits, many Americans stay unconvinced that destitution exists. To the individuals who know the substances of destitution and the seriousness of the problem in America, it is presumably mind boggling that this confusion is still a typically held conviction.…
