Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

Attorneys must safeguard client information obtained during representation. The correct response is to check with Bob before sharing, even if Carla represents him in another matter. This respects the rule that information from one case remains confidential unless the client agrees to the disclosure. Other approaches either assume that co-counsel status alone allows access to all information or that partial disclosure suffices. Those approaches ignore the requirement that the client must authorize any release.
