Ace Professional Responsibility Essays on the California Bar Exam

  • Maureen MacManus
  • CA Bar Exam , Essays

You can be certain about three things in life: death, taxes, and the fact that Professional Responsibility will appear on the written portion of the California bar exam in 2022.

Professional Responsibility can appear in the following ways:

  • On its own.
  • In a crossover question (Business Association is a frequent pairing, but any subject is fair game).
  • In a performance test.
  • Or all of the above.

But don’t worry! Knowing what to expect is the first step to preparing.

To get the most out of your bar exam prep, we recommend you fully write out at least five Professional

Responsibility essays under timed, closed-book conditions and outline several more.

So, where do you start? We have dozens of questions to practice with !

Our bar prep courses will get you ready in no time.

One Dastardly Deed Can Raise Multiple Issues. Go Chronologically!

A typical Professional Responsibility will star an attorney who takes or—in some cases—fails to take numerous actions throughout several paragraphs.

Each action (or inaction) is likely to raise more than one ethical issue.

Unless you are faced with a specific call, such as, “Did Lind Lawyer violate any ethical obligations when she failed to place the settlement money into a client trust account?” your best bet is to go chronologically:

1. Identify each action or inaction.

A prime example would be Lawyer Loves Contractor from February 2016:

Lawyer—who has no experience with construction defect cases—agrees to defend Contractor—with whom she is romantically involved—at half her usual rate if Contractor prospectively agrees not to sue for malpractice. Lawyer also orally agrees to bring a cross-complaint on contingency.

2. Think about each potential violation the action or inaction raises.

For example, in Lawyer Loves Contractor, you would want to raise Conflict of Interest, Representation Despite Conflicts of Interest, the Duty of Competence, Contingency Fee Agreements, and Malpractice Waivers.

3. Address all the possible violations before moving to the next ethical “event.”

This would include distinguishing between the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility and California Rules of Professional Conduct where necessary.

Don’t Waiver on Informed Consent

Remember, a conflict of interest won’t necessarily bar an attorney from representing a client.

If a conflict of interest appears in a Professional Responsibilities essay—and it’s likely to do so because conflicts are a notorious bar examiner favorite—we suggest you take a two-pronged approach.

  • First, devote a single IRAC to explaining why a conflict of interest exists.
  • Then, include a second IRAC addressing whether the attorney can still proceed with the representation despite the conflict. There must be informed written consent, so both the disclosures and the consent need to be in writing.

Don’t forget to mention the key distinctions between the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

Be Confident in Raising Competence

A “competent” lawyer wouldn’t violate ethical rules.

So it’s a pretty sure bet that you’ll want to raise the Duty of Competence in almost any Professional Responsibility essay you write—even if there’s no suggestion that the lawyer is newly minted or inexperienced in the practice area.

Just be sure to point out the difference between the ABA Model Rules of Professional Responsibility and the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

Under the ABA Model Rules, a lawyer must act with the legal knowledge, thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation.

Under the California Rules of Professional Conduct, an attorney is subject to discipline if she intentionally, recklessly, or repeatedly fails to perform legal services with competence.

As the language suggests, it’s much easier to violate the ABA Model Rules.

Take On Professional Responsibility Essay Questions with Confidence.

The California bar exam is only a few months away.

So there’s no time to waste when it comes to getting that critical essay practice in.

The last thing you want is to find yourself struggling to identify or write about an issue.

Chapter 12: How to Conquer Professional Responsibility on the California Bar Exam

Professional responsibility on the california bar exam.

Professional Responsibility is one of the most daunting subjects on the California Bar Exam. Not only is it always tested in some form on the exam (either on the essay portion or the performance test), it sometimes shows up  more than once   on a given exam and is often combined with other subjects.

Additionally, examinees are expected to know both the California ethics rules (found in the Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar and in the State Bar Act, which is found in the California Business and Professions Code) and the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional conduct (MRPC). (This guide will refer to the California ethics rules as the “California rules” and the ABA MRPC as the “ABA rules.”)

Here, we give you a few tips for conquering Professional Responsibility on the California Bar Exam.

1. Expect to see Professional Responsibility tested! 

If you go through an entire California Bar Exam and do not see a single Professional Responsibility issue, you probably missed it. You should expect to see Professional Responsibility tested on the exam. However, be careful not to create Professional Responsibility issues where none exist!

2. Be aware of the subjects that are commonly combined with Professional Responsibility  

On the California Bar Exam, Professional Responsibility has been tested on its own, with another subject, and even on its own and with another subject. Professional Responsibility has been most frequently combined with Corporations (under the subject of Business Associations). Professional Responsibility has also been combined with Evidence, Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Community Property, and Remedies.

So, be on the lookout for Professional Responsibility issues in your essays!

3. Be aware of the highly tested issues. 

The California Bar Exam tests certain issues repeatedly. (We have a nice summary of these in our  California Bar Exam One-Sheets .)

Some of the most highly tested Professional Responsibility topics on the essay portion of the California Bar Exam include:

  • Fees: The ABA rules prohibit lawyers from charging unreasonable fees . The California rules prohibit lawyers from charging fees that are unconscionably high .

Fees

  • Concurrent client conflicts: Generally, a lawyer shall not represent a client if the representation involves a concurrent conflict of interest. A concurrent conflict of interest exists when (a) the representation of one client will be  directly adverse   to another client or (b) there is a  significant risk   that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited   by the lawyer’s responsibilities to another client, a former client, a third person, or by a personal interest of the lawyer.

Concurrent Conflicts

  • Under the ABA rules , a lawyer may represent a client if (1) the lawyer  r easonably believes that the lawyer will be able to provide  competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation  i s not prohibited by law ; (3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one c lient against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal; and (4) each affected client gives  i nformed consent , confirmed in writing (mnemonic = RICI ).

ABA Rule on Permissible Current Conflicts

  • California requires a  written disclosure to a client if (1) the lawyer knows that another lawyer in the lawyer’s firm has a relationship with or responsibility to a party or witness in the same matter; or (2) the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that another party’s lawyer is a relative of the lawyer, lives with the lawyer, is a client of the lawyer or another lawyer in the lawyer’s firm, or has an intimate personal relationship with the lawyer.

California Rule on Written Disclosure

  • California generally requires “informed written consent” whereby the disclosure of the conflict and the consent must be in writing ( unless the conflict arises out of the situations represented above, in which case it only requires a “written disclosure” ).
  • Under the ABA rules , a lawyer shall provide competent representation to a client. Competent representation requires the legal knowledge , skill, thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation.

ABA Rule on Competence

  • Under the California rules , a lawyer is subject to discipline if the lawyer intentionally, recklessly, or repeatedly fails to perform legal services with competence.

California Rule on Competence

4. Be aware of the new California rules!

California recently  revised its rules to be more in line with the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct . Many of the California distinctions remain but some have been abolished. For example, California now prohibits sexual relations with a client unless the sexual relationship predated the attorney-client relationship (e.g., see February 2016 , July 2005 , and July 2006 exams.) California also prohibits contingent fees for domestic relations and criminal cases . And, as noted above, California revised its concurrent client conflicts rules.

We expect that some of these new California rules will be tested!

5. Practice! 

The best way to gain proficiency at Professional Responsibility essay questions is to practice writing answers to essay questions. You will see how Professional Responsibility issues are tested and how to structure a Professional Responsibility answer. One of the difficult things about Professional Responsibility essays is that there are often so many issues that can be raised that it is sometimes difficult to decide what to discuss. Practicing is the best way to perfect this skill!

Here are a few essay questions with student answers that we recommend you practice to get exposed to some highly tested topics in Professional Responsibility essay questions:

  • February 2021 Professional Responsibility exam: this essay applies the ABA and California rules and covers payment for recommending a lawyer’s services, solicitation, sharing fees with a nonlawyer, forming a partnership with a nonlawyer, concurrent conflicts of interest, sexual relationship with client, duty of competence, diligence, fee agreements, duty to report another lawyer, and California rule concerning threats to an attorney (see essay question #4 on the exam).
  • October 2020 Professional Responsibility essay : this essay applies the ABA and California rules and covers concurrent conflicts of interest, fairness to opposing counsel, decisions to be made by lawyer and client, the duty of competence, diligence, the duty of candor, and mandatory vs. permissive withdrawal (see essay question #1 on the exam).
  • February 2020 Professional Responsibility essay: this essay applies the ABA and California rules and covers fee agreements, concurrent conflict of interests, the duty of loyalty to an organization, communication with unrepresented persons, and truthfulness in statements to others (see exam question #2 on the exam).
  • July 2019 Professional Responsibility essay: this essay applies the ABA and California rules and covers responsibilities of partners and supervising attorneys and subordinate lawyers, the duty of competence, fairness to opposing counsel, the duty of confidentiality, the duty to report another lawyer, the duty of loyalty, and former client conflicts (see essay questions #4 on the exam).
  • July 2017 Professional Responsibility essay (combined with Evidence): this essay applies the ABA and California rules and covers attorney-client privilege, the duty of confidentiality, and termination of the client-lawyer relationship (see essay question #2 on the exam).

  • Becoming a Lawyer: Discovering and Defining Your Professional Persona by Toni Jaeger-Fine Publication Date: 2019 The difference between your success and failure is you. Success is not about your degrees or technical skills. It has nothing to do with law at all. A successful professional masters concepts and behaviors not taught in law school or practice. This guide will help you see the profession and what is required to succeed in a new light. Whether you are a new or more seasoned professional, Becoming a Lawyer will help you define and develop your professional persona and become the best legal professional you can be.
  • Legal Ethics in a Nutshell. 2018 Description: Many law professors aim to probe deep ethical issues in class. But they also need to cover the material that the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination requires. The Rotunda Nutshell fulfils that need as it digests the Model Rules in an engaging, analytical, and often critical way. In a surprisingly pithy manner, this book places the Rules in an historic context that lets the student understand problems with prior versions of the Rules, which led to the present version. The Nutshell also analyzes the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, Third. This approach frees up precious class time for important normative issues. And, this Nutshell helps your students come up with better answers to your Socratic questions than you anticipated. This book has proved so popular as an explanation of the basic principles of legal ethics that it has been translated into Japanese and used there to teach American legal ethics. more... less...

  • Mastering Professional Responsibility. 2016 This second edition of Mastering Professional Responsibility presents a concise explanation of the rules and concepts of lawyer professional responsibility. In creating the book, the author's goal is to provide students in the typical law school professional responsibility course with a source that explains the relevant rules and concepts in a way understandable to novices to the legal profession. In furtherance of that goal, the book provides a straightforward treatment of the subject, with special attention to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and all recent amendments to those rules through the date of publication. For each topic, the book briefly addresses any relevant rationales, but primarily focuses on explaining the parameters of the applicable standards in a clear, understandable, step-by-step manner. A typical treatment of a topic includes not only a clear explanation of each standard, often broken into manageable concepts, but also a simple example illustrating the application of that standard. These easy-to-understand examples are designed to facilitate learning in students who, in contrast to practicing lawyers, have not yet had the opportunity to develop an understanding of the context of law practice. This book is an excellent accompaniment to the typical professional responsibility course. The book is also a good preparatory tool for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, which is a requirement for admission for most states.
  • Questions & Answers: Professional Responsibility. 2018 This all-new fourth edition of Professor Longan's popular study guide is the perfect companion for your professional responsibility course. The book offers a comprehensive review of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the Model Code of Judicial Conduct, and related doctrines of professional responsibility such as malpractice and disqualification law. It includes 208 questions, both multiple choice and short answer, along with complete explanations of the right and wrong answers. The book is a hands-on tool for testing your knowledge. Use it to review and to assess your understanding of what you are learning in class and to prepare for exams. Compare your answers and reasoning with Professor Longan's explanations of what your Professional Responsibility professor will expect from you. The book will also be a big help in your preparation for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam. Its organization and content mirrors what you can expect on the MPRE, and the format of the book's multiple choice questions tracks the format of what you will see on the bar. Use this valuable preparation tool to make sure that you pass the MPRE the first time!

  • The Law Student's Guide to Doing Well and Being Well The ABA and most state bar associations have identified a wellness crisis in the legal profession, and called for educating students on how to better cope with the challenges of law school and practice. At the same time, students must learn how to maximize their brain health so that they perform well in law school and on behalf of their clients in practice. The same way musicians would tune their instruments, or chefs would sharpen their knives, law students must sharpen their minds. This book aims to help students "do well" in their ability to learn, and "be well" in the process, by exploring the deep connection between brain health and wellness.

Professional Responsibility is fairly simple, but it can be crossed over into any of the other subjects. I suggest you spend 10-20 minutes outlining your answer and the rest of the hour writing. When you review each of your answers, keep track of your mistakes. Issue spotting is an art, and it takes practice. The good news is that the key issues in every subject are tested in fairly common ways.

Here are the fact patterns and issue outlines – and one model answer – for our Master Essay Method Professional Responsibility Seminar .

Here is the video seminar with the essay approach and a discussion of each of the fact patterns. Remember that if you click on the playlist button in the upper-left corner you can skip around within the seminar.
