Consider the following cases:

A child informs you that she has been abused physically and/or sexually.
An adult female informs you that they are being abused physically and emotionally by their partner (intimate partner violence).
A client discloses to you that they committed a crime more than 20 years ago that they are certain resulted in the death of another individual.
For each of the cases listed above:

Describe how the law in your state applies.
Explain your legal responsibility.
Explain your ethical responsibilities based on the ACA code of ethics. Cite the ethical standards that you choose and explain your rationale for choosing each. Include guidelines on how to respond to subpoenas in each case, as applicable.
