CASE
Emma, a 19-year-old nursing student, is known for her intelligence, humor, and charismatic personality. Her peers enjoy her company and admire her dedication to becoming a nurse midwife. However, it has been discovered that Emma has been snorting cocaine before attending clinical rotations. This discovery was made by Sarah, a fellow student who stumbled upon Emma’s substance use.
Sarah faces a difficult decision: whether to report Emma’s cocaine use to the faculty or keep it to herself. Reporting Emma might result in severe consequences, including potential expulsion from the nursing program and the destruction of Emma’s dream of becoming a nurse midwife. On the other hand, not reporting Emma could jeopardize patient safety, the integrity of the nursing profession, and Emma’s own health and future.

PART 1
1. Attorney Alice represents Bob in a divorce case. After the case concludes, Bob posts a negative review on Alice’s public Facebook page, accusing her of incompetence and revealing confidential details about their strategy. Alice wants to respond to defend her reputation. Should she, and if so, how can she do so ethically?
2. Lawyer Lisa sends an electronic document to opposing counsel Charlie in a contract negotiation. The document contains hidden metadata with confidential client information. Meanwhile, Lisa also uses email tracking software without Charlie’s knowledge to monitor when he opens her emails. Are Lisa’s actions ethical? What should Charlie do if he discovers the metadata?
3. Criminal defense attorney David hires a social worker to assist in a case involving his client, Frank, who is accused of child neglect. During their work, the social worker learns information that might trigger mandatory reporting requirements under state law. What ethical obligations does David have in this situation?
