What people don't know, I live in Connecticut, work remotely in Tennessee and work in person in Springfield, Massachusetts. One might argue, I am a modern-day jet setter.Even in light of Covid, I am still flying, the frustrating part is that every time I enter a new state, I have new set of laws to obey for Covid. After 40 Covid test, I decided, enough is enough, I called my friend, Susan, who is also a lawyer, I said Susan, these conflicting state laws are annoying I am not taking another Covid test. Susan and I actually took Constitutional Law together in law school. I told Susan, I am just going to fill out the Connecticut Department of Public Health Covid Travel Advisory paperwork and go about my business, who will ever know I did not take the test. Connecticut Department of Public Health has no time to worry about me.When I arrived in Connecticut, on a Monday, I completed the Connecticut Department of Public Health Covid form, and went to work in Massachusetts on Tuesday, without taking any Covid test. When I left Massachusetts a police officer stopped me for speeding in Connecticut, after looking up my name in the state database, the Connecticut Officer asked where was my negative Covid test.I said "Oh, I have my results in my purse." When the officer asked to see my purse, I responded, "You never look in a woman's purse." The Officer, then asked to search my car, I said "why, would I let you search my car Officer." The next thing I knew the Officer gave me a ticket for violating the Connecticut Department of Health Covid regulation, I was fined $1000.00. Well, that Officer does not know who I am. I hired my friend Susan to represent me. I gave her $500 retainer and signed a retainer contract. The retainer contract stated that any issues arising out of the retainer agreement must be disputed by an Independent Arbitrator. Susan filed a request to appeal the $1000.00 fine by filing an administrative case with the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, an administrative agency, the agency hearing officer upheld the $1000.00 fine.

  1. I asked Susan to appeal the decision of the Connecticut Department of Public Health, where will Susan file my lawsuit against the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health?
  2. What must the judge find in order to overturn the decision of the State Department of Public Health? Explain short answer.
  3. During the case, the state's attorney asks to bring Susan on the stand and then asked her if she had any knowledge that I planned not take the my Covid test in Connecticut, Susan refused to answer the question, citing attorney client privilege. Is Susan able to claim attorney client privilege, why or why not? Explain short Answer.
  4. Why would Susan, an attorney, require that any issues arising out of her retainer agreements go before an arbitrator instead of a court of law?
  5. What right(s) was I exercising in denying the police officer to search my purse and car?
  6. Could the police officer search my car, why or why not?
  7. Really upset, I told Susan that I want to go even further and sue Connecticut, Tennessee and Massachusetts for the frustrating rules imposed around Covid requirements. Where will Susan file this case? Explain.
