Episode Details

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode from our "Listen and Learn" series, we're talking about the duty of candor, which you're very likely to see tested on the MPRE; or if you're in California, on an essay question as well.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What the duty of candor encompasses under the ABA and California rules
• How an attorney can rectify an error, whether intentional or unintentional
• Analyzing three questions from previous California bar exams involving the duty of candor
• Candor as it relates to an attorney's reputation and credibility
