  a. Jane mentions the client, but only copies the other paralegals in her section of the firm, because they may have to address this situation soon.
  b. Jane mentions the client's situation, without the client's name, and disguising some of the facts, and hits reply all.
  c. Jane discusses the client's situation openly, using names, because it has been a matter of public record since the case was filed.
