Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Judge Dagan is overseeing a complex environmental lawsuit involving multiple parties. The judge decides not to read the reports submitted by one side, citing prior familiarity with similar claims. Which action aligns with the requirement to carry out duties with thoroughness and fairness?
Review submissions from both parties and allow responses as needed
Have a clerk prepare a concise summary that covers only selected arguments
Rely on insights from similar past matters without studying the current submissions in detail
Review the cited case law to ensure you fully understand the parties' legal positions
A judge must give thoughtful consideration to the evidence and arguments presented by each party. Ignoring submissions simply because the judge has encountered similar issues before violates the duty of diligence and impartiality. The proper course is to examine the current record, invite responses when clarification is necessary, and base any ruling on a complete and balanced review. Approaches that skip or truncate that review-whether by relying solely on past experience, selective summaries, or case-law research divorced from the actual filings-fall short of the standard.
