A paralegal is assisting his employing attorney in the courtroom just prior to the start of a trial. His employing attorney represents the defendant in a personal injury case. At a moment when attorneys from both sides are out of the courtroom, the plaintiff approaches the paralegal and asks him, "Can you explain to me how the questioning will proceed when I'm on the witness stand?" Can the paralegal respond to the plaintiff's question?
A) Yes, because the question is merely procedural and no danger exists that the paralegal's response could be construed as overreaching.
B) Yes, because it will be considered a courtesy to the opposing party.
C) No, because the procedure for examining witnesses on the witness stand is explained by the courtroom clerk.
D) No, because the paralegal works for the attorney representing the defendant and the plaintiff is the opposing party.
