Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney occasionally consults for a local outreach group and makes small donations to charitable programs. The attorney has limited availability for additional free representation. Which step is best aligned with recommended service goals?
Restrict free representation to contested proceedings
Accept an increased volume of matters with little regard for personal availability
Combine volunteer legal representation with other forms of free support while maintaining professional responsibilities
Request a waiver of some volunteer guidelines and concentrate on financial contributions
Attorneys are encouraged to engage in meaningful volunteer work, especially to assist those lacking access to legal services. Combining volunteer legal assistance with other contributions addresses both financial support and the need for representation. In contrast, requesting a waiver of guidelines and relying on donations alone overlooks the value of direct service. Accepting an increased volume of matters with little regard for availability is unwise. Restricting assistance to contested proceedings fails to address broader needs.
