An attorney’s reputation is built by the care taken in brief writing. The judge generally is influenced by an attorney’s brief than by any other form of argument made; therefore, the brief carries persuasive impact, for good or bad, not only for a current client but all future ones. Linda H. Edwards, Legal Writing and Analysis, 167 (4th ed. 2015). Although the six duties of ethical conduct in brief-writing are equally relevant, I have placed six duties of ethical conduct in the following order, in the order of highest importance to least importance. 1. A brief-writer must not knowingly make a false statement of law. 2. A brief-writer must not knowingly make a false statement of fact. 3. A brief-writer must not intentionally disregard filing requirement or other obligations imposed by court rules. 4. A brief-writer must not knowingly fail to disclose to the court directly adverse legal authority in the controlling …show more content…
A brief-writer must not knowingly make a false statement of law. 2. A brief-writer must not knowingly make a false statement of fact. 3. A brief-writer must not intentionally disregard filing requirement or other obligation imposed by court rules. Ethical conduct and legal accountability go hand in hand with integrity. According to James M. Thomas, founder of the Alliance for Integrity, “The standards of professional integrity, have a second source, those that legal practitioners impose upon themselves. They are the values, convictions, ideas, and ideals that fix how one practices, as distinguished from what one practices.” James M. Thomas, Integrity: The Indispensable Element, 64 (2010). Thomas says that attorneys who uphold integrity share nine crucial traits; furthermore, he admits the price tag for maintaining integrity can be high. Id. He adds that, “Pared to its bed-rock essence integrity is the capacity to stand by right ideas, even when doing so is inconvenient, difficult, or unprofitable; yet, its payoffs and benefits are unmistakable.”
You will have to reformat these briefs using your word processing software, and you MUST adapt them to your situation, and to the requirements of your state or locality. These are not and (in the nature of things) cannot be "fill-in-the-blank" forms.

A minimum structure is required, either by nature or by function. Several items have to be disclosed separately on the face of the income statement or within the notes.

On my visit to the Kingsford Legal Centre (KLC) I was firstly challenged to remain professional by a conflict of my morals and my ethical obligations. Client 1 was seeking advice on his charge regarding drink driving, which I find morally wrong. In hindsight, I can see that between getting my brief and meeting Client 1, I applied Parker and Evan’s three stages of ethical decision making to this conflict (2014: 16). I had to become aware of what Foster refers to as ‘subjective bias’ created through socialization, and use critical thinking to recognize that I was judging the client through my preconceived values (2003: 34). I could then apply my personal morals which obligate me to be respectful of those I am providing service for, and the Australian
firm. In determining whether the documents have lost their privileged status by inadvertent production, the court will consider the following five principles: (1) the reasonableness of the precautions taken to prevent inadvertent disclosure in view of the extent of the document production; (2) the number of inadvertent disclosures; (3) the extent of the disclosure; (4) any delay and measure taken to rectify the disclosures; and (5) whether the overriding interests of justice would be served by relieving a party of its error. Nova Se. Univ. v. Jacobson, 25 So.3d 82, 86 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009).
As I was preparing to conduct my interview I tried to think about my perception of the writing requirements as a doctor. Some of these thoughts were confirmed and I was also introduced to the key concept of having to balance the amount of time that is spent writing and time spent interacting with the patient in a clinical setting. I decided to interview Corey Steinbrecher, he is a third-year student at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, and is currently writing a research paper as part of his course work. This research paper is in addition to the typical patient summaries that he would write while treating patients. In regard to this optional writing, he says, “During the first three years of medical school there has not been a large amount of required writing, but I am currently writing a research paper that I hope to have published in a peer reviewed medical journal”.
In order to avoid repetition, the defendant refer to facts of case mentioned in statement of claim ,however it is necessary before defense and response hereinafter upholding lack of prima facie evidence mentioned and cited by the claimant especially for the contract which is being claimed made by parts contrary to facts as will be mentioned hereinafter.
It can be challenging for a defense attorney to maintain a proper balance with respects to ethics owed to their client and the ethical duty owed to the courts. There are times that a client admits to their Lawyer new information regarding their case. This can range from knowing more about the details of a case that could change the course of the trial or it could be an admission by the client that they actually committed the crime. Attorneys must maintain a level of confidentiality with respects to the attorney-client privileges, in defending their client’s Constitutional Rights. Knowing the information, about the client’s guilt will now need to be factored and balanced into the equation of how to best handle this new information, while still
You need to identify the areas of potential risks affecting a template. There is a risk of adding wrong words when automating and texts in wrong places. For an example, in this template the word “plaintiff” is written in the space where the actual word required is the “defendant”. The lack of knowledge in technical language also a risk when creating a document by people who are not technically qualified.
