Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney is involved in a private organization’s effort to change zoning regulations. One of the attorney’s current clients stands to lose a significant advantage if these regulations succeed. Which approach is most appropriate? Possible answers:
Withdraw from representing the client upon noticing any conflict of interest
End involvement in the law reform initiative to protect the client’s interests
Discuss the potential consequences of the proposed changes with the client and consider the client’s perspective
Continue with the reform effort without disclosing sensitive information to the client
Attorneys are permitted to participate in initiatives aimed at shaping policy, but they should not overlook potential harms to a client. The preferred approach respects both advocacy responsibilities and the need to keep clients sufficiently informed. The less effective options either deprive the client of important information, withdraw from services at the slightest sign of conflict, or prematurely end the attorney’s reform work without considering balanced solutions.
