Purpose of Assignment: The purpose of this assignment is for students to understand and explain the different attorney and paralegal ethical codes and their enforcement
Course Competency: Describe paralegal codes written by attorneys and paralegals.
Instructions:
Content:
The ethics committee in your law firm came to a conclusion based on your reports of concerns over your conversation with your supervising attorney. They were impressed with your application of the ethical rules and have asked you to become a member of the ethics committee. The committee has decided to report your attorney, the paralegal and judge from last week’s assignment to the appropriate authorities. However, as the committee is new, it has never been tasked with such an endeavor before. Therefore, they have asked you to prepare a report detailing the differences between the various codes concerning attorneys and paralegals, as well as the enforcement of each. You should at a minimum address (1) the differences between attorney and paralegal codes of ethics, (2) explain the investigation process for the governing body or bodies for attorneys and paralegals in your state, including any further involvement the firm might have in the process and (3) discuss the potential outcome of the investigation(s).
Format:
Your assignment should be formatted as a memorandum to the firm’s ethics committee. Your memorandum should be 1-2 pages in length, with proper formatting, spelling, and grammar. You must use at least 3 primary legal sources in your memorandum, including case law, as well as citations to the ethical rules for paralegals and attorneys. Primary legal sources include your home state’s ethical rules or rules of professional responsibility for attorneys, state statutes, cases, and other actual enforceable rules and laws. Conduct research to locate your state’s ethical rules or rules of professional responsibility for attorneys to complete the assignment. Use the ParalegalGuide for help using Lexis and Fastcase for research. For additional help, schedule an appointment with a tutor or librarian.
**Note: NALA, NFPA, ABA model rules, or other model rules, articles, blogs, and other sources about the law are not primary legal sources for purposes of the assignment.

Last year, eHarbour signed a contract with the United States Olympic Committee and US Sailing, the National Governing Body for the sport of sailing, to sponsor the US Sailing team in the upcoming Olympics. The marketing team hoped that sponsoring sailing at the Olympics would be good publicity to promote eHarbour software. Unfortunately, the venue for the Olympic Games had to be moved to a country that is now known for multiple human rights violations, including treatment of women and certain ethnic groups. There is now a lot of bad publicity with the upcoming Olympics. There have been articles appearing in newspapers and magazines demanding that corporate sponsors pull out from the upcoming Olympics. Some members of Congress have called for sponsors to withdraw sponsorship of the Olympics. Discuss whether eHarbour can withdraw sponsorship from the Olympics without violating its existing contract with the United States Olympic Committee and US Sailing. What defenses could eHarbour assert in a breach of contract case? What are the consequences if eHarbour decides not to withdraw its sponsorship? What recommendation would you give?

Persuasive Presentation
Goal: The goal is to create an appealing and informative oral presentation that will engage and enlighten your audience on the topic. Prepare a presentation to share with our class. In your presentation, you will discuss the topic on which you wrote your informational memorandum. The presentation can have either a neutral or a persuasive tone. It should explain why your topic is important and educate your audience on the main points contained in your informational memo.
There is no limit on the number of slides you can include in your visual aid. Remember, fewer words on the slides are much more effective than creating each slide with an overload of content.
Create PowerPoint based on the outline and Memo attached.

Consider the topic of age discrimination. Is it ever appropriate to discriminate based on age? Give examples of two situations for which you believe age discrimination is acceptable. Then give examples of two situations for which you believe age discrimination would not be acceptable. For all examples, provide an explanation of your reasoning. Then, answer the following questions: Are older people entitled to protection from employment discrimination as a class? How might a law protecting older people from discrimination work?
Research the issue online to assist you in developing supporting facts and arguments for your positions. You may want to look at Web sites for government agencies that enforce anti-discrimination laws, such as the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, available at https://www.eeoc.gov/, the British Government Equalities Office, open at https://www.gov.uk/society-and-culture/equality, and the Australian Human Rights Commission available at https://humanrights.gov.au/. Professor Linda M. Woolf, Ph.D., has put together a helpful Web site on ageism available at http://faculty.webster.edu/woolflm/ageism.html. Lastly, the BBC provides an overview of age discrimination in Britain and globally, open at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5334972.stm.
