Your supervising attorney asks you to release to the press a letter from a third party to the press. The attorney says, “I’ll finally get even by truely embarassing that S.O.B.” What should you do?
Please do not respond if you are not sure, or you are goign to say something stupid!

   I have had that happen to me. I refused. I stated it was unethical and would not take part in it. — He got someone else to do it.
