You are a paralegal working in Plentibux & Moore, a boutique Atlantic City, New Jersey law firm that specializes in white-collar criminal defense. The senior partner in the firm, Bob Plentibux calls you in to his office and tells you that he has a hot issue for you to research. The United States Attorney, Dirk Lynch, has indicated that he intends to call the firm's best paralegal, Jack Starr, as a witness in a case. Jack has been involved in witness interviews, case research, and document review in the most important murder case in the firm.
Mr. Plentibux is concerned about what they can make Jack say and wants to know what the limits of paralegal confidentiality are in New Jersey . He tells you to look at New Jersey's Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct and to conduct a Lexis search to find some cases and applicable Rules to answer the question. Mr. Plentibux hands you a handout that he said might help start your research.
