Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Judge Thompson is overseeing a case involving a dispute between two businesses. Outside of official court proceedings, Judge Thompson meets privately with the plaintiff's attorney to discuss the case's details. Is this conduct appropriate under professional judicial standards?
Private discussions are permissible if both parties are aware of them.
It is acceptable under certain conditions, such as when no case-related decisions are discussed.
Such meetings are allowed provided they are brief and non-influential.
Engaging in private discussions with one party's attorney is inappropriate under professional judicial standards.
Private communications between a judge and one party's attorney without the other party present constitute improper ex parte communications. Such interactions can undermine the fairness and impartiality of the judicial process, violating ethical standards.
