Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Attorney Jane Smith is licensed to practice law in State A and is approached by a client who needs representation in a legal matter in State B. Jane has never been admitted to the bar of State B and does not have an office there. Under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, what should Jane do to ethically represent her client in State B?
Seek admission to the bar of State B before representing the client.
Proceed to represent the client in State B without meeting State B's requirements.
Provide legal advice without representing the client in proceedings in State B.
Associate with a lawyer licensed in State B to represent the client.
Jane can ethically represent her client in State B by associating with a lawyer licensed in State B. This ensures compliance with multijurisdictional practice rules, allowing her to provide effective representation while respecting State B's licensing requirements. Proceeding without meeting State B's requirements violates ethical rules, seeking full admission to State B may not be necessary if associating with a local lawyer, and providing legal advice without representation restricts full representation capabilities.
