If so, where can I find it?

If you are working for the attorney, you would, of course, give all information from the client to the attorney. I don't know why you wouldn't. You work for the attorney, not the client. I'm a paralegal too and I cannot imagine a scenario where I would not provide ALL information from our client to the attorney I work for.

There would be no such law as there are few laws relating to the relationship between paralegal and attorney. The rules of ethics, however, require you to provide such information. The paralegal works solely on behalf of the attorney and to withhold information from the attorney would be a serious violation of the paralegal's duty to both the attorney and the client.

Most paralegals work FOR the attorney. If so, I see no reason why they would withhold any info. The information withheld could be important enough to lose a case for the attorney. Information that could show the client in a bad light, but withheld from the attorney, could make him look foolish in court also.

Try the Board of ethics for the state legal comission
