Student Code Of Professional Responsibility

Recently, I participated in a campus tour that was led by Ms. Keli Huang. The visit provided me with a better understanding of what Cardozo Law School has to offer. Cardozo Law undeniably has an outstanding reputation among legal institutions, along with brilliant professors who are truly invested in their student’s studies. However, the inviting community is what really sets it apart from other law schools. Ms. Huang raved about the supportive and friendly environment among the students. The welcoming atmosphere at Cardozo Law offer the students an unparalleled legal education that cultivates energetic strong class of attorneys; it is a community I would be honored to be part of.

2. Has there been an academic violation in this case? If so, what is it?

Do you think the correct decision has been made? Why or why not? The decision to deny Mr. Rosenthal his MBA degree could be an egregious error, if the school did not have in its code of conduct that any criminal conviction, must be made known then it would be hard to have legal precedence to deny Ayal his degree. Ayal could argue that the incident took place outside of the school jurisdiction, a private matter and he completed his requirement as stipulated by the courts. Ayal violated the code of conduct of Pricewaterhouse and should be allowed to carry on with his life’s mission to achieving an advanced degree.

2c. The Iowa Supreme Court referred to another case involving attorney plagiarism (Iowa Supreme Court Board of Professional Ethics & Conduct v. Lane). In that case, the punishment for attorney Lane (suspension of his license to practice) was more severe than the punishment imposed on attorney Cannon. What distinction did the court make between these two cases? Do you agree with the court’s reasoning?

I define myself as a curious researcher and reflective practitioner who perceives legal education as a combination of passion and practicality. Whereas my idealistic side wants to thoroughly understand the development of global legal ethics, my pragmatic side asks what actions should be taken by lawyers to solve international legal problems. Hence, Penn Law’s core strengths in providing a remarkably interdisciplinary learning experience and the program of Legal Practice Skills will be the bridge to my academic and professional aspirations.

During this time, the defendant did not review bank records and statements that were sent to him. Even when the defendant had realized that his clients had not received their settlement funds or the discovery of inconsistency in his account, he did not remove Taradash access to the account or retrieved the signature stamp from him. The Appellate Court found the defendant to be guilty of professional misconduct in aiding a non-lawyer in the unauthorized practice of law and ordered the defendant to be suspended from the practice of law for three years. In the case of our client, Attorney James Johnson, he did not give authorization to his paralegal to access his bank accounts to misappropriate client’s funds. The client never reported missing funds from the closing, and Mr. Johnson did not allow his paralegal, Susan, to perform interviews without his permission. Susan did not conduct the interview using her signature, instead, all the closing documents were sent to Mr. Johnson, which he signed himself. Susan only made sure all the documents were signed, and all the accounts were

The School of Management does not condone academic fraud, an act by a student that may result in a false academic evaluation of that student or of another student. Without limiting the generality of this definition, academic fraud occurs when a student

On August 2, 2016, the Office of the Bar Counsel received a complaint from Edilson Menezes regarding Attorney Sandra F. Bloomenthal. Menezes’ complaint alleged that he hired Bloomenthal to appeal his criminal conviction; however she failed to take the necessary steps to file an appeal, communicate with her now former client, and return a copy of his file or give any type of refund. Bloomenthal has potentially violated Mass.R.Prof.C. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4.

Hired in 1998, Ephonia M. Green was hired to work at Association of American Medical College as an administrative assistant employee. Ms. Green’s yearly salary earned her approximately $56,000 a year however she is charged with stealing more than $5 million from AAMC over a period of 12 years until the fraud was discovered in July 2013. Ms. Green’s access to submitting invoices for payments through AAMC allowed her to create a scheme that would catapult her well over her yearly salary.

Ultimately, Knapp had the opportunity to commit this heinous act because of his unreasonable financial position and power in the organization. Robert’s duties included authorizing and distributing checks, which led to the opportunity to commit the crime. The clear lack of separation of duties was tremendous and indefensible by

There is a weakness in the company’s Human resource standards regarding hiring. The fact that the treasurer worked for a person who was convicted of fraud doesn’t make him dishonest, however, it should raise a red flag on him filling a position which requires integrity and ethics. Human resources should vet potential candidates for these positions carefully.

Accounting and management are the major pillars of an organization that contributes to the country’s economy. Introduction of AICPA Code of Professional Conduct helps in controlling the business operation especially in the accounting and management departments. Accounting and management fraud have been experienced whereby through corruption or other means, entrusted managers and accountants tend to be selfish in undertaking their duties. These factors are well addressed by the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct principles. Therefore, the study seeks to introduce two case studies whereby the management fraud have been experienced. Furthermore, the study will incorporate the use of AICPA Code of Professional Conduct in controlling the situation to ensure harmonious business operation in the management.

In my role as a student-research assistant to Professor Miranda Garcia, who also serves as the chair of the Committee on Professional Responsibility here at the Western College of Law, I have been tasked with formulating sanction recommendations for all three of the committee’s ongoing cases. Although the Committee requests that the sanctions chosen from the list of leviable sanctions in the Western College of Law’s Code of Professional Responsibility be consistent with both the severity of the crime and past sanctions, they by no means have to be identical. Depending on the lens through which they are viewed, the severity of the offenses committed by the respective guilty parties can vary widely. The bare essential details of the three cases are as such: Ben Reilly O’Shea, the offender in the first case misused his position as the treasurer of a student organization by using $2,000 of the organization’s funds to bankroll a Cancun vacation for himself and friends; the offender in the second case, Peter Parker Jones, submitted a paper to his constitutional law seminar course that was heavily plagiarized; and the offenders in the third case, Carlie Cooper Smith and Vin Gonzalez Esteban, collaborated on an assignment in their Legal Research and Writing course despite having been explicitly forbidden from doing such by the professor.

Nick should not trust Jamey’s recommendations because of the seriousness of the matter, Jamey’s lack of judgement and accounting knowledge, and fact that Jamey is liable for financial mistakes and mismanagement. Jamey has already shown his desire to use foundation grants and outside funding, instead of properly disclosing and resolving the accounting issues. Jamey also did not take the necessary steps to become knowledgeable of basic accounting concepts and did not act upon the recommendations that were given to resolve the accounting issues. Furthermore, Jamey’s purchases of wine and use of the company vehicle puts into question his motives. Ultimately, Jamey could and should be held liable for the mistakes and his recommendations show that

In the wake of the suicide of 12-year old Celeste Willis in 2013, a result of alleged cyberbullying, Beaufort Country School District has taken proactive steps towards de-escalating cyberbullying in their schools. Willis was bullied on social media networks: Facebook, and Instagram, and video-sharing website YouTube. Despite her family monitoring her Internet activities neither her parents nor friends were aware she used a pseudonym on Tumblr until after her passing where repeated threats and bullying took place. Beaufort County Schools has added anti-bully prevention and conflict resolution programs available online to prevent future tragedy like this one from occurring again.
