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?
Lоuis, а trаnsаctiоnal partner in a law firm, had represented Red Retailer fоr several years in its ongoing business transactions. Recently, Red Retailer's president learned that Harvey, a litigator in the firm, had been advising Major Manufacturer about the possibility of suing Red Retailer. Concerned that Harvey might have access to Red Retailer's confidential information, the president asked the firm to stop representing Major Manufacturer in connection with the potential lawsuit because of the conflict of interest. The firm refused but offered to screen Harvey to prevent access to or misuse of Red Retailer's confidential information.Red Retailer's president declined the offer. On behalf of Red Retailer, he retained an independent lawyer and sought an injunction in a civil action to bar the law firm from continuing to represent Major Manufacturer in connection with the potential lawsuit.Is the court likely to issue the injunction?
