Can you guys assist me with the study guide for PLS216 Ethics, Legal Writing And The Law Office?

I'm having trouble with the following questions from the study guide.

Question 1

What does pro hac vice mean?

a. When a Judge allows one of the attorneys in his/her cases to step in and act as a substitute Judge when that Judge must take a leave of absence for things such as vacation, maternity/paternity leave, and other specified reasons.

b. When a lawyer is given permission to practice in a State that he/she is not authorized.

c. A form of discipline for an attorney who breaches the ethical rules.

d. When a paralegal is given special permission to practice law under the supervision of an attorney.

I believe it is B, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 2

Which of the following does not inherently cause a conflict of interest?

a. Representing a repeat client who came to your firm for a different issue in the recent past.

b. Representing both the passenger and driver of a vehicle in a personal injury proceeding.

c. Representing both the husband and wife in a divorce proceeding.

d. Representing two separate defendants in the same case.

I believe it is A, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 3

Which of the following is a consideration when determining if someone is performing the unauthorized practice of law?

a. Whether the activity is one that is traditionally performed by a lawyer.

b. Whether the services are essentially legal or are "incidental" to some other transaction.

c. Whether the services require the skills and knowledge of a lawyer.

I believe it is D, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 4

Who is the holder of attorney-client privilege when a corporation is a client?

a. The lawyer.

b. The employee of the Corporation speaking with the lawyer.

c. The Corporation itself.

I believe it is C, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 5

If a lawyer represents two criminal defendants with unrelated cases, and the trial dates for each defendant are at the same time, could that cause a conflict of interest?

a. No, because a situation like this can never cause a conflict of interest.

b. Yes, if pushing one or both of the trial dates to another date will detriment one or both of the clients. c. Yes, because a situation like this will always inevitably cause a conflict of interest.

d. No, because delaying a trial for a criminal defendant could be a positive outcome for that defendant.

I believe it is B, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 6

I believe it is True, but I'm not entirely sure.

a. The client's thoughts on the opposing party.

b. The client's perspective on the case.

c. The client's anonymous late payment for taxes to the IRS.

I believe it is D, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 8

Under certain circumstances, a law student may be authorized to practice law. True False?

I believe it is True, but I'm not entirely sure.

Question 9

What is an issue conflict?

a. When a lawyer represents two clients in unrelated cases, but the outcome of one case may negatively affect the outcome of the other case.

b. When a lawyer takes issue with all the conflicts his client is having, and forces the client to sit down and talk about his feelings.

c. When a Judge intervenes to avoid a conflict of interest between a lawyer and his client.

d. When a lawyer removes himself from a case due to a conflict of interest.

I believe it is A, but I'm not entirely sure.

Please let me know if I'm correct or if you see something that I'm not seeing.
