Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney received a client’s litigation file well before a date set by the court. The attorney worked on other matters and sent the required documents after that date had passed, which prevented the client from pursuing the case. Which choice best describes the attorney’s actions?
The attorney followed the intake procedure for new files
The attorney did not address the official date, leaving the client unable to proceed
The attorney decided to work on the matter after completing a backlog
The attorney relied on updates from the client to manage scheduling
Lawyers are expected to manage their workload effectively. The correct option reflects that missing the specified date stopped the client’s ability to proceed. Other responses either shift focus to different issues or suggest the attorney effectively handled the matter, which did not occur given the late filing.
