12. Lаwyer аssigned pаralegal Pat tо search thrоugh the massive business files оf Lawyer’s client to find documents responsive to a federal court order for production of documents. After several months of work, Pat ended up with 170 large boxes full of documents that were responsive to the court order. Most of the documents were harmless, but a few were quite damaging to the legal position taken by Lawyer’s client. Instead of arranging the documents in the same logical order in which she found them in the client’s files, Pat intentionally jumbled the order of the documents. Her purpose was to make it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for the adversary to find the damaging documents and to understand their significance. Before the documents were produced for the adversary, Pat told Lawyer what she had done. Lawyer responded: “Good—that ought to slow them down. In the future, however, don’t do anything like that without checking with me first; we might get in trouble otherwise.” Which of the following statements are correct?I. Since document production requires the skill and judgment of a lawyer, Lawyer is subject to discipline for delegating the task to Pat, even if he had adequately supervised her work. II. Lawyer’s conduct was proper since he admonished Pat and instructed her not to engage in similar conduct in the future. III. Assuming that all responsive documents were produced, Lawyer’s conduct was proper, since the adversary has no right to insist that the documents be arranged in any particular order. IV. Even if all responsive documents were produced, Lawyer is subject to discipline because he failed to take steps to mitigate the consequences of Pat’s misconduct.
