Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Colorado
Peeking
My superior asked me to present evidence about a list of complaints that my secretary had written about me, her boss... I went into her personal file at our office and pulled it out with out her permission. Does she have a case for legal action against me for that?

Re: Peeking
You had no business going into the personnel file of someone who had complaints against you.
Whether or not she can make out a legal case, depends upon what her complaints were.
You've certainly helped her case though, whatever it was.
