Yes, there are two issues here. One is how I must behave as an attorney, because there is no doubt at all we have an attorney client relationship. The other is how I feel as a human being.
As a human being I am outraged at the way the school has handled this.
But, my research and the advice I have received makes it clear I legally have no obligation to report it, and of course, due to my relationship now with my friend as her attorney on this issue, I cannot just go and report it without an appropriate waiver, only after she has received advice from a different attorney on the issue.
I don't think I want to be any more specific about her role and what she has seen or hasn't seen on this board. I hope you understand. I feel I've probably already shared more than I ought to, though I tried to be general. But yes, one of my concerns remains the reliability of the information in the first place, at least in regard to this one particular complaint.
