Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

During a civil trial, the defense calls a witness to testify for the defendant. On cross-examination, the plaintiff's attorney asks the witness about a fraud conviction that occurred three years earlier. The defense objects. How should the court rule?

  • The court should allow the question only because fraud is a particularly serious offense.

  • The court should disallow the question, because convictions for fraud require a stricter admissibility standard for impeachment.

  • The court should allow the question, because the fraud conviction is admissible to impeach the witness's credibility as a crime of dishonesty.

  • The court should disallow the question, because the fraud conviction does not directly relate to credibility in this lawsuit.
