Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Attorney Garcia represents a client in a high-profile criminal case. During a TV interview, Garcia asserts that the key witness is lying and that the prosecutor is pursuing the matter for personal gain. Which approach is permitted when speaking publicly about this case?
Publicly claim that the main witness lacks integrity
Release materials suggesting the witness has altered evidence under external pressure
Use news segments to allege that the prosecutor is pursuing personal interests for professional gain
Focus statements on logistical updates like upcoming hearings and fundamental procedural details
Under applicable guidelines, counsel may share updates on hearings, address general procedures, and briefly describe factual elements of the defense. More aggressive comments about a witness or the prosecutor can risk prejudicing the proceeding or creating misleading perceptions. Focusing on basic logistical points, such as hearing schedules or the general nature of the claims, stays within permissible boundaries.
