Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
A lawyer was upset with a judge’s rulings over several weeks and gave public comments blaming the judge for favoring one party. The lawyer did not share any supporting evidence. Which option aligns with professional guidance on criticizing judges?
Express criticisms based on factual information and refrain from making unsupported claims
Limit remarks to private gatherings instead of making critical observations in public settings
Speak in public forums to emphasize constitutional rights without necessarily relying on evidentiary support
File a grievance while refraining from making comments on a judge’s actions outside formal channels
Lawyers may comment on a judge’s actions, but their statements should be grounded in fact or made in good faith. Spreading accusations that are not supported by a good faith basis harms confidence in the judicial system. Other options silence permitted public commentary or overlook the requirement to show a factual basis.
