Regulating federal prosecutors' ethics by Bruce A. Green
WAIVER CULTURE: THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF ETHICS COMPLIANCE by Gina L. Genova
Situation:
You are a court appointed attorney for an alleged murderer. During one of your attorney - client meetings, the accused discloses the fact one week ago he abducted a 5 year old boy from a local playground, murdered him and buried the remains behind his house. After your interview with him, you find an article in a local newspaper where a mother is pleading for information about her missing son.
You are currently faced with an ethical dilemma. The information you received was provided in confidence during an attorney-client meeting, and you would be disbarred if you revealed this information.
Write a response on what you would do in this situation. The response you provide is to be supported by research and should be written at a graduate level.
NOTE: With this situation, your client will not disclose the information; therefore, attempting to convince him would not work, so do not focus on having your client do the right thing.
Your paper should go beyond the obvious, be written at a graduate level, and must be no less than 1200 words. You must use no less than three additional resources (other than your required text) that support your position. All resources used must be properly cited using the APA style.
NOTE: Your entire paper must be in APA format. This requires a cover page, abstract, body, and references. The cover page contains descriptor with page number, Running Head, Title, Author, and University. In the body, each paragraph must be attributed and cited properly.
