Fenton works as a paralegal in a law firm that represents Kramer in a claim for damages resulting from an automobile accident. Kramer was a passenger in a car driven by DiSalvo. The accident occurred when DiSalvo negligently ran a stop sign. DiSalvo is represented by the law firm of Ogawa and Robles.
-Assume that Fenton's brother-in-law once worked for DiSalvo. This would create a conflict of interest and the law firm should refer Kramer to another attorney.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Fenton's brother-in-law once worked for DiSalvo does not inherently create a conflict of interest in the legal representation of Kramer by Fenton's law firm, as the relationship does not directly relate to the case or parties involved in a way that would affect the firm's ability to represent Kramer impartially and competently.
