Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney licensed in State X relocates to State Y and sets up an office there. She continues to advise clients on matters governed by X rules, stating in ads that she is licensed in X. She does not appear in Y tribunals but receives requests from Y-based clients seeking her expertise on X rules. What describes her responsibilities?
She can handle Y matters because holding an X license is sufficient.
She is in breach of rules by establishing an office in Y despite limiting her practice to X issues.
She is not subject to Y regulations based on her absence from Y tribunals.
She can maintain an office in Y to handle X matters if she remains licensed in X and clarifies her status with Y clients.
Multijurisdictional guidelines allow a lawyer to relocate and continue practicing the law of the jurisdiction where the lawyer is licensed, provided the lawyer remains in good standing, limits the practice to that jurisdiction’s law, and makes clear the scope of representation. Other options are incorrect because they either assert that Y regulations do not apply at all, improperly endorse handling Y matters without admission, or assume that establishing an office in Y is automatically a breach.
