Instructions Assignment: Attorney Malpractice Despite not being a member of the bar subject to its discipline for ethical violations, it is very important for paralegals to be aware of ethical obligations other than those owed to the court, opposing counsel and clients. They also should be aware of possible civil liability for the actions (or inactions) of themselves and their attorneys if a suit for legal malpractice is brought against the firm. This exercise will help familiarize you with this type of tort and make you more aware of the potential consequences of your and your attorney’s conduct. Anita Athlete, a famous fitness instructor, sues a competitor, alleging that it copied her fitness method and made millions of dollars selling the videotapes and DVDs. She hires ABC Law and sues for the lost profits, among other things. She advises her attorney of a crucial witness to the case. Her attorney decides not to interview that witness, believing there is enough evidence without that witness to win. Unfortunately, they lose the case. Anita Athlete now has come to the law firm where you work. She wants to sue ABC Law for attorney malpractice. Your supervising attorney wants to know whether there is enough evidence to proceed on the claim and asks for your analysis. Research the laws of your state (statutes, cases, etc.) and draft an internal memorandum to your attorney in Microsoft Word format discussing your findings. Cite all sources using Bluebook format.

Assignment: Outlining a Logic Model A logic model is a tool that can be used in planning a program. Using a logic model, social workers can systematically analyze a proposed new program and how the various elements involved in a program relate to each other. At the program level, social workers consider the range of problems and needs that members of a particular population present. Furthermore, at the program level, the logic model establishes the connection between the resources needed for the program, the planned interventions, the anticipated outcomes, and ways of measuring success. The logic model provides a clear picture of the program for all stakeholders involved. To prepare for this Assignment, review the case study of the Petrakis family, located in this week’s resources. Conduct research to locate information on an evidence-based program for caregivers like Helen Petrakis that will help you understand her needs as someone who is a caregiver for multiple generations of her family. You can use the NREPP registry. Use this information to generate two logic models for a support group that might help Helen manage her stress and anxiety. First, consider the practice level. Focus on Helen’s needs and interventions that would address those needs and lead to improved outcomes. Then consider the support group on a new program level. Think about the resources that would be required to implement such a program (inputs) and about how you can measure the outcomes.
