Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

In a federal civil trial, the plaintiff's attorney requests that the court exclude all of the defendant's non-party witnesses from the courtroom during the testimony of other witnesses. The defendant's counsel objects, arguing that the decision to exclude witnesses is entirely at the court's discretion. How should the court rule on the plaintiff's request?

  • Deny the request, because excluding witnesses would violate the defendant's due process rights.

  • Grant the request only if the plaintiff can demonstrate a specific reason to believe the witnesses will tailor their testimony.

  • Grant the request, because the court must exclude witnesses upon a party's request.

  • Deny the request, because the decision to exclude witnesses is always discretionary.
