Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Carol, an associate at a private firm, accepted a position on the board of a nonprofit that provides support to pro bono programs. The organization is considering funding a lawsuit against a real estate company that Carol’s firm represents in another matter. Carol is expected to vote on whether the nonprofit should support the lawsuit. Which option describes Carol’s professional obligation in this situation?
She leaves the board once a decision arises that conflicts with her existing client’s matters
She votes on the issue because the firm’s ongoing matter with the real estate company is unrelated to the nonprofit’s litigation
She remains on the board and does not vote on organizational decisions that conflict with her client’s interests
An attorney on a legal services board manages conflicts of interest by avoiding involvement in decisions that affect an existing client’s interests. The correct option states that Carol remains on the board and does not vote on conflicting matters. The other responses are flawed: one requires withdrawal from volunteer service, and the other disregards the conflict altogether.
