Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
During a trial, a lawyer raises their voice and uses disrespectful language towards the judge after an objection is overruled. What is the best course of action for the lawyer?
Ignore the judge’s reaction and proceed as before.
File a complaint against the judge for overstepping authority.
Consider withdrawing from the case to reduce potential conflict.
Apologize to the judge and continue with respectful conduct.
The correct answer involves the lawyer apologizing to the judge and continuing with respectful conduct, which upholds the tribunal's decorum. Ignoring the judge's reaction fails to address the misconduct, filing a complaint is an inappropriate immediate response, and considering withdrawal does not directly restore decorum.
