I received in an e-mail from opposing counsel a document that was clearly not meant to be attached. This is a confidential document summarizing strategy in an unrelated case. What are my obligations with regard to this document?
I would expect a lawyer, as a professional, to immediately return documents they receive through inadvertence and not adversely use that information. When it is so easy, with a click of a button, to send the wrong document to the wrong recipient, every lawyer should be able to help each other when a mistake is made.
