Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
A lawyer is representing a client in a lawsuit involving a painting that the client’s former business partner claims belongs to the business partner. The client gives the painting to the lawyer for safe storage while the legal dispute proceeds. How should the lawyer handle the painting?
Return it to the client to maintain until the dispute is finalized
Ask a family member to hold it in their private storage space
Label the painting as the business partner’s property and place it in a secure area separate from personal belongings
Keep it in a locked cabinet containing the lawyer’s personal items
Lawyers must preserve property belonging to non-clients according to professional rules. Storing it in a secure place separate from personal items and clearly marking it ensures protection and proper identification. Other options risk confusion over possession or possible damage and do not fulfill the duty of safeguarding third-person property.
