Donna represents a commercial developer, RP Contractors (RP), which is buying 120 acres of undeveloped land to build a shopping center. RP will develop the land in multiple phases, beginning with the eastern 50 acres. RP informs Donna that about a year ago the seller of the property granted an easement along the West boundary of the property to the county water department.

RP tells her that the easement should be 20 feet in wet, but RP does not know the exact location.

RP wants Donna to do a title search and issue a title opinion as part of his purchase. Instead, Donna gets RP’s approval to order title insurance. She engages quick title insurance Inc, a local company with whom she and her firm have no affiliation. When Donna receives the title commitment prior to closing, she reviews it and notices that it does not mention any easement to the County Water Department.

1. What action, if any, should Donna take at the present time

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) said Tuesday that he plans to file suit against the Chicago Sun-Times this week over an article on his child support payments.

“I will file suit this week. The article is pure defamation and a hit piece as evidenced by the fact that they changed their headline 3 times and the reporter made no effort to contact us prior to dropping the story,” Walsh told TPM in an email.

Walsh claimed in a statement late Monday that the Sun-Times piece “implied that I did not want to make child support payments and was behind on payments. Both statements are false.” Included in his statement is an early version of the story, with the headline: “Ex-Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh wants to stop paying child support because he’s out of a job.” In an email, Walsh called this headline an “abject lie.”

“[B]y law in Illinois I have to modify my support agreement when I change employment, whether I’m a congressman or an electrical engineer,” he said. “By law, I modified to 20% of my net income for the final four months of my son’s high school before he’s emancipated. All of this is what I’m obligated to do. What is the story here? No, the Sun-Times purposely tried to sully my name again and I will fight back against them and anyone else who does.”

An updated version of the story Tuesday morning carried a revised headline: “Ex-Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh insists he’s not trying to stop paying child support.” Asked for comment, Sun-Times editor Jim Kirk told TPM: “Just that we stand by our story. Nothing further.”

Article 2: This is the article that the dispute is over:

Ex-Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh insists he’s not trying to stop paying child support

BY NATASHA KORECKI Political Reporter Twitter: @natashakorecki February 11, 2013 4:48PM

Updated: February 12, 2013 7:13AM

After insisting he wasn’t a “deadbeat dad” throughout his failed campaign for re-election, ex-U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh is still dogged by questions about child support.

Walsh, a flame-throwing Tea Party Republican who was trying to land a radio deal and last week announced he was forming a new conservative SuperPAC, filed court papers seeking to end his obligation to pay $2,134 per month in child support.

But once again, Walsh insists he’s no deadbeat. Both he and his attorney say that since he is no longer employed as a congressman, they want to “modify” the previous agreement so that he pays 20 percent of his current salary.

Walsh is not currently employed and has no salary. But that could change, he said. “I’m working on it,” he said. But an attorney for Walsh’s ex-wife said that the former congressman is behind on child support payments that were dictated under a previous court order and that Walsh’s ex-wife was taken by surprise by a Feb. 1 court filing that asks “to terminate child support obligation,” saying Walsh “is without sufficient income or assets with which to continue to pay his support obligation.”

“This is the first communication we’ve received from the congressman; she had no information prior to receiving this filing in the mail that he was going to seek,” said Jack Coladarci, an attorney for Walsh’s ex-wife. “He did not pay January and he has not paid February support… You still have to keep paying until the judge says you can stop.”

Walsh’s court filing states: “Joe’s employment has been terminated through no voluntary act of his own and he is without sufficient income or assets with which to continue to pay his support obligation. Due to a substantial change in circumstances, Joe requests that his child support obligation be terminated based on his present income and circumstances.”

But Walsh insists he’s not trying to get out of paying anything. He said the key part of the filing comes at the end; when it asks that the court “modify Joe’s child support obligation to a sum equal to 20 percent of his net income until the minor child graduates from high school in 2013.” Asked why the motion was titled “motion to terminate child support,” Walsh’s lawyer, Janet Boyle, characterized the title to the motion, which Walsh signed, as misleading.

“It probably should have been a motion to modify, that’s probably what I would have captioned it. My office used a word that is getting turned around here,” Boyle said. “That’s what we’re asking for, a modification, whether that’s modified to zero or some other number has yet to be seen.” In an interview, Walsh characterized the filing as routine and said he has no intention of backing down from paying child support payments.

“What I did was what every divorced father is supposed to do,” when a father’s employment changes. “My ex-wife’s child support payment was taken out of my paycheck,” Walsh said. “I don’t know what that will be yet,” Walsh said of what he will pay going forward. “But whatever I make these next four months will go by law to my youngest child.”

“I have paid child support … through the end of my congressional payment,” Walsh said. “I received a check, and so my ex-wife would have received 20 or 28 percent of that. She received her normal payment. They took it out of my check, they took it out of my check in January.”

Walsh provided pay stubs to the Sun-Times. One shows that there was a $2,134 deduction for the pay period ending Dec. 31. However, Coladarci said that reflects the payment for December, not January. A pay stub from Walsh dated Feb. 1, does not show such a transfer.

“Nobody’s saying he’s not going to pay anything,” Boyle said. “All we are saying is that Mr. Walsh’s circumstances have changed and he, like every other father in the state, is entitled to seek a modification … If he doesn’t make any more money for the next four months, why would he continue paying $2,134?”

Now the question:

1) Discuss, in detail, each of the six elements of a defamation tort as they would apply Walsh’s situation. Be specific as to his situation based on the facts when explaining the multiple elements of the tort.

You are on placement in a rural health facility with another student. You are both staying in the quarters building and have been on the same shifts for the week. You notice that your fellow
student appears to be drinking alcohol quite heavily each night and getting back to the quarters very
late. At the start of the placement, you were asked if you wanted to have a drink with them, but you
declined as you wanted to focus on your studies. Last night they were posting pictures of
themselves in uniform at the local pub intoxicated and posting this on their Instagram stories.

This
morning it appears that they are attending the morning shift apparently still under the influence of
alcohol. You decide to confront them as their behavior is putting patients at risk and also has an
influence on your placement.

They state that they have been struggling with the death of a close
friend a month ago and that without the support of family they are struggling emotionally. They
don’t want you tell anyone as they need to get through this placement as they cannot afford to
repeat the placement or course and would have to withdraw from their degree.

Q) what are the options of action in this case? (make the decision and take the responsibility, justify decision)

Q) implementation of this case (act on the decision, plan for consequences)

Q) access to outcome (evaluate decision-making progress and seek support if needed)

The attorney/client privilege applies when a client discloses past crimes to an attorney.  If a client confessed to a sexual assault unrelated to the current case, the attorney would not be legally required to report it.  Do you feel the attorney/client privilege should extend to such circumstances?  give three (3) reasons supporting your position.
