After I watched this video here are my answers to these questions:
- When the paralegal accepted the flowers, she did create conflict of the interest, because lawyers or paralegal shouldn't accept any gifts from clients even if the gift is cheap. Anyone work in a law firm should only depend on the salary or the money they earn from their cases. According to Deborah. K, (2008). "Lawyers and paralegal should not accept a gift from nonfamily member client such a gift coasting few dollars".
- I think the paralegal should not accept the invitation for dinner because that will create conflict of the interest, because if she accept the client's invitation that will mean she will start dating him, and she can work on his case to support him, and he can take advantage of her and her job, and also she will take his side and she could respond to his requests related to his case.
- To avoid creating any conflict she should nicely and politely tell him that, she can't accept his invitation because, her job doesn't allow her to accept any kind of invitation from any clients.
