1. Lawyer, representing Owner in the sale of a 50-year-old house, tells Buyer that “this house is in top condition,” knowing that the chimney needs repairs and that cracks are beginning to form in the plaster in some portions of the walls. Is this ethical (and why)? What if Lawyer instead says, “you won’t find a nice older house like this in better condition for this low a price,” knowing that there is a very similar house down the street in better condition being offered for a lower price?
2.An attorney represented a shopkeeper who was trying to sell his business, and was approached by an interested buyer. The attorney told the potential buyer that she believed the opportunity to purchase the business would be brief because the business was being offered at a very low price.

3. A toy manufacturer was sued by the parent of a child injured by one of its products. As the manufacturer’s attorney was preparing to respond to a discovery request from the plaintiff, the attorney found a document that was very damaging to his client’s case. Prior to complying with the discovery request and turning over the document, the attorney called his opposing counsel and offered to settle the case. The attorney stated that although he believed his client was very likely to win a summary judgment motion, they would settle the case for a modest amount to save the costs of litigation. In fact, the attorney believed his client had no chance of winning a summary judgment motion and was also likely to lose at trial based on the document he had found. The opposing counsel declined the attorney’s offer. The attorney turned over the document, and the case proceeded to trial, where judgment was awarded to the plaintiff. Were the attorney’s statements to the opposing counsel proper?

4. Lawyer, representing Plaintiff, who has been involved in an automobile accident, tells the opposing lawyer that Plaintiff has seen a number of medical specialists since the accident and “will definitely need surgery,” knowing that Plaintiff is experiencing no pain and has been given a clean bill of health by the specialist. Is this ethical (and why)? Would it matter if Lawyer instead says that Plaintiff “may need to have surgery?”
