Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Renata devotes a segment of her schedule to helping those who cannot pay for representation. She wants to know how ethical guidelines address such volunteer work. Which option best fits the standards on volunteer assistance?
She needs to complete a specified number of volunteer hours per year
She is encouraged to devote a portion of her time to volunteer work without an imposed quota for these efforts
She compromises her obligations if she represents individuals who cannot pay while handling paid matters
She is restricted from volunteering unless her jurisdiction compels it through a specific rule
Professional principles endorse dedicating time to assist people with limited resources. The correct option highlights that lawyers are encouraged to volunteer without a fixed quota. One incorrect option suggests that taking unpaid cases while representing paying clients creates an ethical problem, which is inaccurate. Another imposes a definitive volunteering requirement, which is inconsistent with existing guidance. The final choice indicates she is restricted from volunteering unless compelled, which does not match the profession’s voluntary service principles.
