Respond to an email that suggests an unethical practice.

Imagine that you’re an intern for the law fi rm Dewey, Wright, and Howe. As part of a team, you’re developing an Orientation Plan for future interns. Your team receives the email on the next page from the HR recruiter at the fi rm. In small groups, fi rst discuss the situation and why this is an ethical dilemma. Then, on your own, write an email to respond to Mark’s suggestion. You will want to balance ethics with tone to avoid accusing Mark of anything inappropriate and potentially making him feel defensive. When you’re fi nished, share your draft with your group members and compare emails. Which works best and why?
