You are working with Redwood and Associates. Your company represents Lillian Smith whose case is up for an ADR hearing. Mr. Redwood, the supervising attorney is concerned that he may not be able to attend Ms. Smith’s dispute resolution hearing because of a pending litigation with another client the same day. Mr. Redwood has asked you to attend the ADR hearing with Ms. Smith on his behalf. Mr. Redwood has asked you to contact Ms. Smith to remind her of the hearing and to let her know that you will be attending the hearing with her. Ms. Smith has expressed some concerns that you will be attending the hearing rather than Mr. Redwood, the attorney. She suggested that maybe you should handle the other client’s case so Mr. Redwood can attend her hearing.

Explain to Ms. Smith, based on the NALA cannons, why you may or may not be able to represent clients in litigation.

To help Ms. Smith understand this, discuss and explain what you can do when working with an attorney who represents clients in the dispute resolution process.

Provide Ms. Smith with at least one real world situation/example to help her understand your role.
