Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Judge Lane has been invited to speak at a fundraising dinner for a local group. Members of this group advocate for policy changes tied to ongoing cases in Judge Lane’s court. The group’s flyers highlight Judge Lane’s official role. Which option best aligns with appropriate professional responsibilities?
Participate because the dinner serves a beneficial community purpose separate from the judge’s rulings
Agree to speak but avoid references to the pending lawsuit
Attend the fundraiser but do not engage in the fundraiser
Avoid the engagement to prevent the appearance of endorsing the group’s policy objectives
The correct response emphasizes avoiding any scenario that could make observers question the judge’s impartiality. Speaking at a function coordinated by advocates with matters before the court creates perceived support for their stance, raising doubt about fair decision-making. While avoiding references to pending cases sounds protective, it does not dispel the impression of endorsement. Likewise, focusing solely on community benefit overlooks the conflict arising from the group’s advocacy. Stepping away from this event protects public confidence in unbiased rulings.
