Snap Judgments

It's kind of amazing to me how either life imitates the Bar or the Bar imitates life. Recently, a BFF of mine sent me a hypothetical, in honor of the exam, on an ethical situation. The same week, I had an ethical situation arise at the office that still makes me wonder whether or not there will be serious repercussions to deal with at some point in the near future. The thing of it is, for most of the ethical questions related to the Bar, it's fairly easy to make snap judgments and then support your position. The hypo usually starts with something like "Robin, a disbarred attorney who has a cocaine habit, has been doing work for newly-licensed attorney Leslie...." You know Leslie is going down for some stupid sh*t that Robin did. Leslie always needs to run as fast as humanly possible away from Robin, but never seems to do it in time. It's always a "don't let this happen to you," after school special kind of thing. But, then again, I guess I'm making another kind of snap judgment about those kinds of questions.
