Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney receives an email from a third-party vendor containing personal financial details. The attorney realizes after opening the message that it was not meant to be shared. What approach is most consistent with professional obligations toward that individual's rights?
Proceed with the information because it was sent willingly and does not reference privileged matters
Delete the email and provide no notice to avoid raising complicated questions
Contact the sender or the third-party vendor to explain the email was received and take steps to protect the data from misuse
Share the details with the client if they strengthen the representation
Notifying the sender or the third party and taking protective measures respects the individual's privacy and reduces potential harm. The other options do not meet professional obligations because using or hiding the information disregards the individual's rights or fails to address the disclosure.
