Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Karen is representing a plaintiff in a negligence lawsuit. The opposing counsel requests dates to depose several witnesses. Karen’s client stands ready, but Karen has other cases and believes slowing the process might strengthen her client’s bargaining position. Which approach is consistent with the professional obligation to move matters forward?
Do not provide any dates for several months
Offer reasonable dates for depositions and proceed when the client is prepared
Oppose some deposition requests and seek an order when appropriate
Postpone certain witness testimonies to prolong the matter until settlement talks progress
An attorney should accommodate legitimate discovery requests and move proceedings ahead as required by professional rules. Scheduling depositions within a reasonable timeframe satisfies these duties while preserving the client’s legal interests. Filing repeated objections for no reason creates needless complications, and delaying depositions to cause a strategic advantage undermines the obligation to expedite litigation.
