4 HYPOTHETICAL # 1 Jimmy Walker was a great guy, the life of the party and a pretty good lawyer, when he showed up. He was recently made partner in the small family law boutique firm in town, Whiskey & Rye, and continues to mentor the young lawyers. He volunteered for the lawyer referral program and took on several pro bono cases. He never missed a Bar event, first to arrive and last to leave. Sometimes Jimmy might appear to be wearing the same suit he left the party in when he showed up for early morning support conferences or motions court; He had a bad habit of forgetting his file and more often than not, seeking last minute continuances. There were a couple of calls from some disgruntled clients which Jimmy represented through the various Bar programs. He was subject of many a joke of the younger lawyers, who nicknamed him Red for the often noticed color of his eyes and chided Jimmy for his slurred advice given at the open bar at the Bar meetings. A younger associate at Whiskey & Rye confided that she was pretty sure that Jimmy was sleeping many a night in his office. There were whispers about client and Jimmy arguments in the hall, about Jimmy smelling like he just left the brewery. A couple of judges voiced their concerns and thought someone needs to do something about Jimmy The problem lands in your office. What to do? The Bar Exec? The Bar leader Hypothetical #2 Jimmy has been in a number of treatment programs and has had visible periods of sobriety. But now Jimmy is back clearly drinking again and missing hearings. Lots of folks are complaining about his behavior and his appearance and his lack of preparation for court, etc. He keeps coming to your office begging for last minute favors or use of the computer-you know things are bad for Jimmy and anyone he is representing. What to do? The Bar Exec? The Bar leader? Hypothetical #3 Jimmy just isn t showing up. There are no visible signs of drinking or drug use. When you see him he is well kept, neatly dressed. He doesn t really attend events anymore. He s missing hearings and not answering phone calls. Several members are complaining and you have received phone calls from disgruntled clients What to do? The Bar Exec? The Bar leader? 4
