PART II: ESSAYS (TWO HOURS)31. Essаy 1 (1/3 оf Exаm Grаde) – Answer accоrding tо both the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct and California authorities Paul is a general practitioner with his own law firm. Paul has been very busy, so he decides to hire an associate, Al, a former deputy district attorney. One of Paul’s clients is Cal. Cal is charged with the brutal murder of the city’s mayor (an apparently violent death as a result of blunt force trauma to the head), but police have never been able to find the murder weapon. Prior to trial, Paul met with Cal in jail. Cal told Paul the following: “If somebody was to take a stroll in the City Park, and then go behind the women’s public restroom, that person may be able to find a baseball bat.” On his way home from the jail, Paul stops by the City Park. He proceeded to walk toward the back of the women’s public restroom, where he found a baseball bat buried under a pile of leaves. There were some red stains on the baseball bat. Paul saw a group of children playing in the nearby baseball field, so cleaned the baseball bat and gave it to one of the kids. While Paul was handling Cal’s murder trial, he assigned all of the civil litigation cases in his office (one hundred total) to Al. Due to the volume of the civil litigation cases, Al fails to file an answer to a complaint on time, and default judgment is entered against Paul’s client. Since Al was inundated with all of the civil litigation cases, he [Al] forgot to tell Paul that he was the lead deputy district attorney assigned to the murder investigation of the mayor prior to joining Paul’s law firm. At the conclusion of Cal’s murder trial, Paul tells the jury in his closing statement that they must acquit Cal of the murder charges because the prosecution has not proven that Cal murdered the mayor, and that the prosecution could not even produce the purported murder weapon. Are Paul and/or Al subject to discipline? Discuss.
