Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Nicole is an associate at a new firm. She overheard her supervisor advising a client to hide materials that were requested in discovery, and the client complied. Nicole is worried about her responsibilities. Must she alert the entity charged with lawyer oversight?
No, because the matter relates to privileged discussions within the firm.
Yes, a lawyer aware of serious wrongdoing by another attorney that undermines the judicial process should notify the appropriate oversight body.
No, client permission was obtained for the request.
Yes, because an attorney should report conduct that jeopardizes their licensure.
An attorney should disclose serious professional misconduct involving a lawyer’s honesty or fitness. Encouraging a client to conceal requested materials undermines both trustworthiness and the fairness of the legal system. Claims of client permission or privileged discussion do not override this duty to protect the profession’s integrity.
