Paralegal Pat has worked at the Best Law Firm for six years, and is very competent at his job. Pat prides himself in responding quickly, and assisting clients whenever he can. To facilitate this he checks his work email very often, even after hours. One night an established client of the Best firm emailed Pat with an urgent question concerning facts of the client's arrest that night. Unsure of the correct answer to the client's inquiry, and not wanting to provide an incorrect answer, Pat showed the email to his wife, Jess, who was a prosecuting attorney in a different city. Jess reviewed the email and provided a good answer for Pat to relay to the client, which Pat quickly did.
