NALA Certified Paralegal Practice Exam

Paralegal Robertson may not necessarily lose her job for working on a case involving her former employer, Computers, Inc., as long as proper procedures, such as 'walling off', are used to ensure she does not learn or share any confidential information related to the lawsuit. Option A is incorrect because it is a violation of ethical rules for a paralegal to work on a case involving their former employer without taking proper precautions. Option B is incorrect because a conflict of interest could potentially result in disciplinary action or loss of job. Option D is incorrect because there are restrictions in place in the legal profession to protect against conflicts of interest, and individuals may be restricted in certain jobs based on their previous employment.
