I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything.

Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
