Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Xia, admitted in State P, moved to State Q and opened an office to assist local residents with evictions and contract disputes. Xia added the new address to a website but did not obtain admission in State Q or partner with a local practitioner. Which choice best describes how the rules apply to Xia’s situation?
Representation becomes unauthorized if clients mistakenly believe there is a full license in the new state
Actions of a person admitted in another jurisdiction are acceptable in many places where that person is licensed
Establishing an office in a new state is exempt from restrictions as long as clients consent to limited representation
Xia’s conduct is unauthorized because an unlicensed person in that jurisdiction may not establish a local office to handle matters normally requiring admission
The best choice is the one that realizes that opening a physical office and providing legal services where no license exists is considered unauthorized. Regulations allow certain temporary services or collaborations with local counsel, but a person may not set up a self-standing practice in a jurisdiction where admission requirements have not been met. Other statements misinterpret the need for local admission and oversight, or imply that admission in one region is automatically effective elsewhere. Ensuring adherence to local licensing requirements is essential to avoid unauthorized practice.
