a. Opinion RPC 176 says that “extreme care” must be used to ensure that the tainted paralegal is “totally screened” from the family law (“domestic”) case.

Make a list of the steps Attorney B can take to accomplish this.

b. Assume that the paralegal makes a mistake and discloses something relatively unimportant about the case to Attorney B. For example, the paralegal tells Attorney B that the client in the case was once late for an appointment at the law office of Attorney A. Do you think the North Carolina Ethics Committee would conclude that Opinion RPC 176 had been violated?
