Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Alice represents a luxury goods startup. Company leadership instructs Alice to show certain product sketches to an outside consultant. They do not say anything about future expansion plans. Alice shares expansion details with the consultant, reasoning it will strengthen the design. Did Alice act properly under the confidentiality rule?
Yes, because disclosures that are relevant to the consultant’s project are allowed once the client approves sharing some data.
No, because attorneys cannot disclose information outside a signed and itemized list of approved topics.
No, because the client’s directive did not cover additional facts beyond those sketches, and revealing extra information exceeded the scope of consent.
Yes, because the client’s instructions to release a subset of details extend to any information that improves the project.
The correct answer indicates that authority granted by the client usually covers particular topics or purposes. While some situations imply further disclosure, the new information about expansion goes beyond the client’s specific request. The incorrect answers propose that authorized sharing may extend to every detail or suggest that no disclosure is possible at all. Neither reflects the balance needed when determining which details fall within the client’s permission.
