Meena is a duty solicitor at the Magistrates Court. On arrival at work this morning, she was sent to meet Lola. Lola had been charged with punching her boyfriend (Actual Bodily Harm) and wanted to talk to Meena about the case before her trial.

During their discussions Lola said, "Of course I hit him, he had it coming, he has been seeing my best friend behind my back." Meena explained to Lola that she should plead Guilty if she knows that she is guilty, but Lola was adamant that she should plead Not Guilty because nobody saw their fight so she will get away with it.

Your presentation should cover:

• Any dilemmas or alternative views surrounding the problem;
• The practical [and factual] answer to the problem;
• The ethical basis of the answer; and
• An outcome from the most up to date version of the SRA Code of Conduct.
