Emma is a freelance paralegal who is doing some legal research for a client law firm in another state - the State of Pennada. This is making her research a little more complicated

As is often the case, there is no law in Pennada on the issue she is researching. There is, however, case law (a case directly on point) from her own state that also uses the ABA Model Rules as the basis for its state law.

The next step Emma should take in her research is:

Group of answer choices

compare the relevant Pennada professional conduct rule with the corresponding rule in her own state. If they are the same, then she may be able to use case she found.

only look for cases from her state because other state case law is irrelevant

compare the Pennada professional conduct rule with the ABA Model Rule. If Pennada has changed the rule, then it is invalid

check for other cases, because the case she found is useless.
