Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney is defending a company in a contract lawsuit. The opposing party requests specific documents that weaken the company’s position. The attorney tells staff not to produce some of these documents. Which response aligns with recognized fairness standards?
The attorney can delay production until the court enters a final order
The attorney must produce documents that are relevant under discovery rules
The attorney should withhold documents that appear detrimental to the client’s case
The attorney should avoid disclosure when the request uses broad language
A lawyer has a duty to provide documents that fall under valid discovery requests and refrain from concealing openly discoverable material. The correct option upholds the professional requirement to produce documents relevant to the issues at hand. The other responses suggest either withholding such documents, avoiding disclosure, or delaying the process in a way that conflicts with established fairness principles.
