REVIEW OUTLINE | MPRE  CHAPTER I ▪ INTRODUCTION  \nEDITOR'S NOTES  \nThe following symbols are used throughout this document:  \nFrequently tested topics Exam tips  \nDefinitions  \nAUTHORITIES  \nThe following authorities are tested on the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE):  \n• Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules or MRPC)  \n• Model Code of Judicial Conduct (CJC)  \n• State and federal law (e.g. , Sarbanes-Oxley Act)  \n• Inherent judicial authority of courts to regulate the conduct of attorneys and judicial officers  \nIf a question involves procedural or evidentiary issues, assume the Federal Rules of Civil  \nProcedure (FRCP) and the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) apply unless otherwise stated. If   \na question involves a constitutional issue, assume that the U. S. Constitution governs.  \nCHAPTER II ▪ REGULATION OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION  \nINHERENT POWERS OF COURTS TO REGULATE LAWYERS  \nState courts regulate all aspects of the practice of law within their jurisdiction. Each state has its own rules of professional conduct, which are typically based on the MRPC. In contrast, each federal court has its own bar to which a lawyer practicing before that court must be admitted.  \nADMISSION TO THE PROFESSION  \nRequirements for admission  \nEducation Most states require graduation from an ABA-accredited law school.  \nKnowledge Most states require applicants to pass a bar examination.  \nCharacter Past conduct may be considered when assessing an applicant’s good character and general fitness to practice law. False statements made to the bar examiners , violations of the MRPC , and convictions involving a crime of moral turpitude may prevent admission.  \n Residency No residency requirements.  \nApplication process   \nApplicants are prohibited from knowingly making a false statement of material fact, failing to disclose a material fact, or knowingly failing to respond to lawful demand by an admissions authority  \nregarding the application. Applicants can invoke the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. However, they must do so openly—they cannot simply omit information.  \nREGULATION AFTER ADMISSION  \nGrounds of misconduct  \n• Violating or attempting to violate the MRPC, or knowingly assisting or inducing another to do so.  \n• Committing a criminal act that adversely reflects on one’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as lawyer.  \n• Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.  \n• Engaging in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice.  \n• Stating or implying an ability to improperly influence a government agency or official.  \n• Knowingly assisting a judge or a judicial officer in a violation of judicial conduct rules or other law.  \n• Engaging in conduct that one knows or reasonably should know is harassment or discrimination.  \nMisconduct by others associated with law firm   \n\n| Duties and Responsibilities for Other Lawyers and Nonlawyers in the Law Firm |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Duty to\u003Cbr>supervise | Partner (or comparable managerial authority) | Must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the firm has measures in place to give reasonable assurance that all employees conform to the MRPC |\n|  | Supervising attorney | Must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the conduct of supervised lawyers and nonlawyers confirms to the MRPC |\n| Responsibility for another's violation | Partner (or comparable managerial authority) | Responsible if the partner or the supervising attorney knew about the misconduct when the consequences of themisconduct could have been avoided or mitigated but failed to take reasonable remedial action |\n|  | Supervising attorney |  |\n|  | All lawyers | Responsible if the lawyer orders or ratifies the misconduct |\n\nRemember that a lawyer who is practicing law as a partner in a partnership may have civil liability for the conduct of another lawyer-partner.  \nPartners' ethical duties are tested frequently in the context of ","cbCaimAAvRo6KLXa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimAAvRo6KLXa","pdf",698776,24,"English","# FINAL REVIEW OUTLINE | MPRE\n## CHAPTER I ▪ INTRODUCTION\n## CHAPTER II ▪ REGULATION OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION\n## INHERENT POWERS OF COURTS TO REGULATE LAWYERS\n## ADMISSION TO THE PROFESSION\n## REGULATION AFTER ADMISSION\n## MISCONDUCT BY OTHERS ASSOCIATED WITH LAW FIRM\n## PEER RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT MISCONDUCT\n## UNAUTHORIZED PRACTICE OF LAW","[{\"question\":\"Which authorities are tested on the MPRE according to the outline?\",\"answer\":\"The outline lists the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the Model Code of Judicial Conduct, state and federal law (e.g., the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), and inherent judicial authority to regulate attorney and judicial conduct.\"},{\"question\":\"What general admissions requirements does the outline describe?\",\"answer\":\"It states that most states require graduation from an ABA-accredited law school and passing a bar examination, and that past conduct may be considered for good character and fitness.\"},{\"question\":\"When does the outline say a lawyer has a duty to report misconduct?\",\"answer\":\"A lawyer must report misconduct by other lawyers and judges when the matter raises a substantial question about honesty, trustworthiness, or professional fitness, and the lawyer has actual knowledge of the misconduct (may be inferred).\"}]","MPRE - Final Review Outline - Chapter I - Introduction | PDF",1790340970]
