Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're talking about the ethical rules governing the supervision of employees of a law firm. This is an issue that might be part of a fact pattern involving professional responsibility on the California bar exam, or it could show up on the MPRE.

In this episode, we discuss:

Responsibilities of senior attorneys or partners who supervise attorney associates
The duty owed by a subordinate attorney who completes a task at the direction of the supervising attorney
The rule addressing employees of a firm who are not attorneys, but still require supervision
Three sample fact patters illustrating the above concepts
