For three months, an attorney has represented a local manufacturing company in a contract dispute with the company's landlord. Last week, an employee of the manufacturing company asked the attorney to represent the employee in an action against the manufacturing company for failing to comply with wage and hour laws. The contract dispute and the wage and hour matter have no common issues of law or fact, and the attorney reasonably believes that he can competently represent the clients in the respective matters. Without discussing it with the manufacturing company, the attorney accepts and begins representation of the employee in the wage and hour matter.
Is the attorney subject to discipline?

(A) No, because the attorney reasonably believes that he can represent both the company and the employee competently in the respective matters.
(B) No, because there are no common issues of law or fact in the respective lawsuits.
(C) Yes, because the attorney did not terminate the representation of the company before agreeing to represent the employee.
(D) Yes, because the attorney’s representation of the employee is directly adverse to the manufacturing company.

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
