In (Zoom) court with first appearance for a case I took over from a colleague. Never met client in person, so this our first interaction and she’s side texting me selfies in lingerie and requested to “chill” after. Told her I’m married and she’s still pushing. Looks like this case is going back to my colleague. Is there any CYAs I’m missing?

Take screenshots of all the texts and your replies and save them somewhere secure. Make sure at least one of your replies explicitly asks her to stop. Is there anyone above you that you can report this to? A partner? Even just HR? If so, do it contemporaneously. Also, tell the colleague you’re handing the case back to.
