Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney distributes a letter claiming an adjudicator shows favoritism toward certain individuals, providing little evidence to support the assertion. The adjudicator raises a complaint regarding the lawyer’s comments. Which option aligns most with professional standards?
The statement avoids ethics rules if circulated to a private audience
The statement results in discipline if it lacks sufficient factual support
No professional standards apply - the attorney has a first amendment right to free speech
The statement triggers discipline if the attorney describes it as personal opinion
If an attorney circulates allegations about an official with inadequate factual backing, the criticism is deemed inappropriate. Labeling an accusation as personal opinion does not remove the ethical obligation to ensure accuracy. Restricting the circulation of a statement also does not remove professional responsibilities.
