Professional Responsibility Computer Assisted Lessons: Client or Not?

Barbara Glesner Fines, University of Missouri - Kansas City, School of Law

Abstract

This lesson reviews problems in client identification. The lesson is in the form of a game show CLIENT OR NOT?! in which students are presented with an individual who is claiming to be a client. The student may choose the type of liability/responsibility they wish to risk in giving their answer (Competence, Confidentiality or Conflict of Interest). They then will be asked under the circumstances raising that issue whether the individual is a client. Students may proceed through the entire lesson reviewing client identification under one or all of these three issues.The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction
