Paralegal Melissa and a client are preparing answers to interrogatories in Melissa's office. The telephone rings, and Melissa answers it. During the conversation, she says, I am so sorry to hear that you have AIDS, Mr. Thomas. I will give this
information to attorney Chase and ask him to call you about
