Lawyer Joke

This is a Legal Ethics Examination. You have five minutes to read the hypothetical situation and respond to the question. Include a reasoned argument to support your response.

Hypothetical: You are an attorney in a small, two-lawyer practice. A sweet little old lady comes in and requests you to prepare a simple will. You agree to do so for $100. Several days later, she returns to pick up the completed will. She pays you with a $100 bill, and leaves the office. As soon as she walks out the door, you realize that she has accidentally given you two $100 bills stuck together.

Question: do you or do you not let your partner know about this?

If you are going to keep the money, don't tell your partner. I believe the right thing to do is give the old lady the $100 back.

I guess I'm waiting for the punch line...........

That is the punchline. Doesn't everybody think lawyers are dirtbags?
