Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Lee, a lawyer, serves on a local task force that crafts legislative proposals for zoning rules. Lee’s client is a housing developer who hopes to expand multifamily complexes. Some of the proposed changes could benefit the client’s projects. What approach best reflects Lee’s professional obligations?
Refuse further participation on the task force and withdraw from representing the client
Inform the task force about the potential conflict and continue helping formulate fair proposals
Support the client’s preferred outcome while remaining silent about the connection
Use knowledge from the task force to strengthen the client’s development projects without disclosing it
A lawyer participating in law reform activities can represent a client with related interests but must reveal any potential conflicts and ensure the client’s interests do not distort the legislative work. Remaining silent is risky if there is a possibility the reform efforts could give the client an unfair advantage. Abandoning either the client or the law reform body is not necessary if careful disclosure and balanced advocacy are possible.
