Question:
Krystee Connolly, a paralegal in a litigation firm, has finished reading a brief that the opposing side submitted to the court in support of a motion for summary judgment. In the brief, she notices a cita tion to a state supreme court case of which she is unaware. Krystee is experienced in the field and keeps current with new cases as they are decided. She wants to look at the case because it gives the other side a winning edge, so she checks in case digests and state encyclopedias, as well as on West law. Krystee also checks the state supreme court’s website and sees no record of such a case. She asks the paralegal for the opposing counsel to give her a copy of the case. When she does not receive it, she decides that the case is probably fictional. What should Krystee do?
