In the discovery stage, your attorney asks you to draft as many questions as you can because she wants to "paper the plaintiff to death." She also says answer plaintiff's questions as narrowly as possible, and respond that requested safety test reports have been temporarily misplaced, even though you saw them in the file yesterday. What specific ethical concerns arise and what rules of professional conduct apply?
