Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
A lawyer is representing the owner of a home renovation business in an upcoming trial. The owner insists on including material in court filings that the lawyer believes includes misleading statements and warns of changing counsel otherwise. What option might be appropriate?
End the relationship by refusing further communication without contacting the court
Continue until the trial finishes so there is no interruption in representation
Comply with the owner’s request and identify the client as the source of the content
Seek authorization from the tribunal to withdraw based on the lawyer’s misgivings about the disputed filing
When a client pushes for actions that conflict with established ethical standards, a lawyer can seek to end the representation, usually requiring permission from the court when the matter is nearing trial. Other choices suggest either continuing with questionable requests, disclaiming responsibility, or bypassing court involvement, none of which align with ethical rules requiring the lawyer to maintain honesty and integrity.
