Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

Erica’s longtime client asked her to manage a complex software patent dispute. Erica had not handled a patent matter in many years, and she did not seek advice from other counsel.

Which statement best describes her professional duty in this scenario?

  • Her longstanding client relationship excused the lack of thorough research since the client was used to her approach.

  • She should have associated with, or consulted, an experienced attorney or otherwise acquired adequate knowledge prior to filing.
