Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney is managing a complex case with multiple filing deadlines and scheduled depositions. The client is requesting frequent updates and additional research on critical issues. The attorney has competing obligations in other matters. Which choice best reflects the attorney’s obligation to exercise diligence and care?
Request that the client pause requests for updates until upcoming filing deadlines have passed
Review scheduling commitments, allocate time for depositions and research needs, and keep the client informed about progress at set intervals
Focus on higher-profile cases first and handle all tasks for this client in one block of time close to each filing period
Encourage the client to do factual research and report findings, then confirm those findings shortly before each deadline
The correct choice maintains regular contact with the client, sets aside time to prepare in advance of deadlines, and troubleshoots scheduling conflicts. This approach reflects the lawyer’s duty to address client needs without delay and avoid neglect. Other approaches minimize communication, shift work to the client, or leave tasks until later, which can risk missing essential information or harming the client’s position.
