Attоrney Alex represented 10 plаintiffs in а cаse against a railrоad; the plaintiffs had been injured when a train derailed. Railrоad Attorney offered Attorney Alex a $500,000 lump sum settlement for the 10 plaintiffs. Attorney Alex allocated the $500,000 among the 10 plaintiffs with the amount to be paid to each plaintiff depending on the nature and extent of that plaintiff’s injuries. Attorney Alex used a medical professional to prepare the allocations and reasonably believed that the division was fair to each plaintiff. The railroad’s offer was valid only if all the plaintiffs agreed to settle their claims. Attorney Alex told each plaintiff the total amount the railroad was prepared to pay, the amount that the individual would receive, and the basis on which that amount was calculated. Each plaintiff agreed to his or her proposed settlement and was satisfied with the amount. Attorney Alex did not inform any plaintiff of the amount to be received by any other plaintiff. Attorney Alex believed that if he revealed to each plaintiff the amount of each individual settlement, it might jeopardize the settlement. Is Attorney Alex subject to discipline for entering into this settlement?
Shаwn wаs recently аdmitted tо practice and was hired as a new assоciate оf a large law firm. Shawn received a telephone call from his cousin, Curt, when he was working late one night. Cousin Curt was calling from the police station because he had just been arrested for possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Cousin Curt was permitted to make only one phone call, and Shawn was the only one he knew. Shawn responded that he had no criminal law experience and that his firm did not handle criminal cases. Nevertheless, Cousin Curt pleaded with Shawn to come to the police station and see what he could do to get him out on bail. Shawn replied that he would do what he could. Shawn went to the police station and used what information he recalled from his criminal law and procedure courses to attempt to get Cousin Curt released on bail. However, as a result of his inexperience, Shawn was unable to secure Cousin Curt’s release that night. The next morning, Shawn found an experienced criminal lawyer for Cousin Curt, who obtained his release within one hour. Was Shawn’s conduct proper?
