Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
A client consults a lawyer regarding a potential discrimination claim against their employer. After reviewing the available evidence, the lawyer determines that the case has significant weaknesses and a limited likelihood of success. In fulfilling the role of evaluator, what should the lawyer do next?
Provide an assessment of the case's strengths and weaknesses, including potential outcomes.
The correct answer involves the lawyer presenting an evaluation of the case's strengths and weaknesses, enabling the client to make an informed decision. Declining representation without explanation does not provide the client with necessary information, encouraging litigation without addressing the case's weaknesses fails to guide the client appropriately, and expediting the filing overlooks the importance of thoroughly evaluating the case.
