Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

During a breach of contract trial, the plaintiff introduces a portion of an email exchange where the defendant states, 'I don't think I can honor the contract.' The defendant objects, claiming the entire email chain, which includes context showing the defendant was negotiating a potential modification, should be admitted. Should the court admit the entire email chain?

  • No, because the omitted portions of the communication are inadmissible unless they are independently relevant.

  • Yes, because the court is generally required to admit the entirety of a document if part is introduced.

  • No, because the plaintiff has the option to present the remainder of the document.

  • Yes, because the completeness rule allows relevant portions of a document to be admitted to avoid misleading the jury.
