Lawyer Ethics
A client has a brief session with his lawyer and the lawyer tells him he owes him $100.00. The man pays him cash and leaves. Afterward the lawyer notices that there are two hundred dollar bills stuck together. He knows he has an ethical decision to make. Should he tell his partner?

#1 Will he tell his partner.
#2 Will he give the $100 back to the client.
#3 Will he buy his Wife something nice with the $100.
#4 Will he go up on his rate the next time the client visits the lawyer, and keep the $100.
#5 Will he stash it in his pocket.
I say #4
If we were all crazy, Wouldn't that make us all normal.
