Question

Dan Mitchell is a partner in a mid-size law firm. He has assigned Beth Hammond, one of the firm's best associates, to a litigation matter for his client, Modern Furnishings. Until now, Beth's work has involved research and drafting pleadings, but an important deposition is scheduled in three weeks. During a meeting between Dan and George Drake, the president of Modern Furnishings, George suggests that Beth might not be the "best choice" for taking the deposition. When pressed, George states that although Beth's work has been excellent, he would be "more comfortable" having a male associate conduct the deposition due to its importance to the litigation and the necessity for an "aggressive" approach. Does George's request reflect bias? What should Dan do?
