An attorney is the managing partner at a small law firm. The attorney believes that technology will be increasingly important in

the delivery of affordable legal services and hires a nonlawyer to manage the law office's technology services. This person is given the title of Chief Technology Strategist. The Chief Technology Strategist does not participate in any decisions involving legal judgment. The firm pays the Chief Technology Strategist a fixed salary that is larger than the salaries of some of the associate lawyers and larger than the salaries of all of the other nonlawyer staff. The Chief Technology Strategist is included as a participant in the firm's year-end profit-sharing plan along with the lawyers and other nonlegal staff who work at the firm.
Is the attorney subject to discipline?

(A) Yes, because legal fees are used to fund the year-end profit-sharing plan.

(B) Yes, because the Chief Technology Strategist makes more money than some of the lawyers in the law firm.

(C) No, because the Chief Technology Strategist may be included in the firm's year-end profit sharing arrangement.

(D) No, because the attorney reasonably believes that the year-end profit sharing plan is necessary in order to attract top talent and deliver competent services to clients.

Answer:

No the attorney is not subject to discipline because D) No, because the attorney reasonably believes that the year-end profit sharing plan is necessary in order to attract top talent and deliver competent services to clients.

Explanation:

Without having the best and the brightest there will be no profit to share at the end of the year. So the profit should be shared among all those that contributed no matter how little it is for the success of the cases. And also the profit being shared will serve as a motivation for the strategist to continue giving his best to the firm.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The simple answer is yes a female should be paid the same, but often this is not the case.

Explanation:

Morally, yes a female with the same qualifications and experience should be paid the same salary as the counterpart prior to her, though it is not a law that there can't be a wage gap between women and men and this is most commonly not a reality. Women are often paid less than men with the same degree, qualifications, and experience, especially if the woman is part of a racial minority, or in a male dominated industry. Often, employers are able to find loopholes and reasons, "justifying" this unjust wage gap.
