The Law Firm of Ubber & Pratt received a very large invoice from Court Reporting Agency. Rather than pay the invoice, the firm filed a complaint against the agency hoping that the probability of a long and expensive law suit will frighten them into just forgetting about the invoice. In reality, Ubber & Pratt have no problem with Court Reporting Agency. This tactic
 
  A) violates the rule against bringing a frivolous claim for the purpose of harassment.
  B) is a perfectly legitimate and often used method of negotiating the price of services.
  C) violates the rule against perpetuity.
  D) is a little known method of catching the attention of service providers, and within the boundaries of the law.

Question 2

Coty is a paralegal who works in the family law department for Biggy, Stan & Houston law firm. The firm has a policy that each paralegal and lawyer must do at least 100 hours of pro bono work but the firm typically takes on a big pro bono case that they can all work on together. This year, the case the firm took on involves antitrust litigation and it is pretty complex. Coty doesn't really understand the work that he is asked to do on the case but he isn't concerned because it's just a pro bono case. As Coty's friend, you should
 
  A) tell Coty that he is a fiduciary regardless of the pro bono status of the case, and so he must always act with complete loyalty and good faith toward every client.
  B) keep your mouth closed. If Coty gets in trouble, that's his problem.
  C) tell Coty that he's probably right but he should document his lack of concern in the file.
  D) tell Coty that he is not responsible for working on the case because he is in the family law department.
