The partner, Ronald, says that his niece, Charlotte, is a kid with great potential as a lawyer. However, Ronald believes that a human resource professional such as Bruce should also interview her to help determine his suitability for the firm. As part of the screening, Bruce conducts an Internet search and finds out that a few years ago, Charlotte ran a red light and severely injured a bicycle rider. How should Bruce deal with this situation?

B) Advise Ronald of the Internet search findings, and ask if Charlotte should still be interviewed for the summer internship.
