For this assignment, first study the materials in your Study section regarding removal.

Second, you must spend lots of time examining the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, found at americanbar.org Links to an external site.. Look through it thoroughly for the obligations of an attorney in the two scenarios listed below. As you read, consider: Who is the attorney responsible to first, second, and third? Does the client always come first? What attorney obligations work against the client? Are Christian obligations different than the Model Rules?

Third, using the Model Rules as your law, what would a brief look like for one of the following fact scenarios:

1. A court,not knowing a client is an illegal alien,appoints an attorney to represent the client in a criminal trial for felony theft.Theattorney has never practiced immigration law.Whatresponsibility does the attorney have to the client and to the court?

What is the ethical responsibility of an attorney when confronted with a client who tells the attorney, in confidence,that the client entered the country illegally and is using an alias name to hide his illegal alien status? The client faces arraignment immediately.

Note, in this brief, you will combine the study of removal and ethics. The facts of your brief must include a court appointed criminal law attorney faced with one of the two aforementionedethical issues.Focus on the attorney's ethical obligations while including the procedures of the removal process the client is facing.

You do not have to research cases or any other websites for this assignment. Instead of analyzing case law, you will apply the Model Rules and removal to the facts of one of the scenarios.

Do not argue all alternatives since this is a court brief. Choose the best argument (you may use more than one Model Rule) for the situation so an attorney in your office could argue it.
