Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Ethics are commonly described as the standards or rules of conduct to which members of a profession are expected to conform. Paralegal Application 1.7 page 17 of the text identifies 12 ethical rules from which the student can select five. Examples of conflicts are most likely to include issues involving the unauthorized practice of law, conflicts of interest, or confidentiality violations. The remedy will depend on the nature of the conflict identified. For example, if the student uses a conflict of interest as the type of issue that might arise, he or she should discuss an ethical wall as a potential means of dealing with the situation.
