Cases on the identifying lawyers skills



FOREIGN LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT 
TSUL 
 
Cases on the identifying lawyers’ 
issues, duties, moral right or 
wrong, legal right or wrong 
actions 
Set up one or more of the following fact patterns and students discuss among 
themselves how they would resolve conflicts inherent in each one.
Each group reports a different problem and the other groups and students 
comments on their analysis and solutions.
For each problem, the students identify the issues, the duties, the moral right 
or wrong, the legal right or wrong, whether these are in tension or not, and 
how they might resolve the conflict. 
1. 
THE LYING CLIENT
John is accompanying an important client of the firm 
to court for a brief status conference on a pending case. While driving the 
client to court, the client volunteers that he has not told the partner in charge 
of the case an important fact that throws into question whether he has a viable 
case or, 37 Instructor’s Manual: Essential Qualities of the Professional Lawyer 
instead, is pursuing a baseless matter in hopes of extorting a big settlement 
from his opponent who cannot afford to litigate the case. When asked what 
the client will do if the judge asks him about this issue, the client responds: 
“that’s easy, I will just lie.”
2. 
THE MEAN CLIENT
Mary is asked to represent a client who wants to evict 
her sister from a home that she manages as trustee for their aged mother who 
is in a nursing home. The sister has not paid the agreed-upon rent for some 
time because she is ill. The mother has other sources of income and does not 
need the income for her own personal needs. The mother also is not aware of 
Mary’s client’s plan to evict her sister. After discussing the matter with her 
client, Mary comes to believe that the case is more about spite and hurt 
feelings among the sisters than any legal issue, even though the rent has not 
been paid and the client has every legal ground to evict her sister.
3. 
THE CANCER PATIENT
Bill is a lawyer in a state that does not allow the 
sale or possession of marijuana, even for medical purposes. A close friend from 
law school is stricken with cancer and is very sick from the chemotherapy. The 
friend asks Bill if he can find her some marijuana as she has read that some 
cancer patients get relief by using it. Bill has a client who was arrested for

marijuana sales and is pretty certain that he can get him some 
marijuana for his friend.
4. 
SALLY AND THE SELF-REPRESENTED PARTY
Sally represents a client 
in a divorce. The client’s husband is a small property landlord who supports 
his family with the income from a small portfolio of rental properties. The 
child support guidelines in Sally’s state are established as a percentage of the 
party’s income. Sally appreciates and understands the difference between 
gross and net income, but the unrepresented husband does not. The husband 
puts the gross income figure on the child support worksheet instead of the net 
figure, resulting in a much higher award to Sally’s client and her three 
children.
5
. MARK AND THE TAX ERROR
Mark is negotiating a settlement of a 
lawsuit with another lawyer. Both lawyers get together with their clients for a 
settlement discussion. Everyone agrees that anything said at the settlement 
meeting is “off the record” and cannot be used for any purpose in any other 
proceeding. Mark suggests that his client will take a certain sum of money to 
settle the case. His opponent turns to his client and says: “you know, if you 
pay this, it’s tax deductible for you.” Mark knows that this is not true. The 
client says: “well, if that’s the case, I will pay the money.”
