Yes, a paralegal should report a supervising attorney for questionable conduct, especially if it involves unethical behavior, violations of legal ethics, or potential harm to a client.

Paralegals have a responsibility to act in the best interests of clients and the law, and reporting such conduct can help protect both. If unsure, the paralegal should consult relevant guidelines or seek advice from a trusted colleague or ethics board.
