It's called being a professional. So Mr. Litigator is stressed and wants to make sure the associate assigned to his case is going to be ready to help him out when she gets back to the office? Again, its called being a professional.

No. It's not being professional. It is however illegal.

DP -- what's illegal?

Asking her to perform work while on maternity leave (presuming she also is on her Fmla leave)

No, it's not. She shouldn't be asked to report into the office on a regular basis, or anything like that - but it is not illegal to be asked to do work while on leave, and to be expected that the work is in fact, done. There is a line where it becomes FMLA interference but it is also not nothing.
