The Client-Lawyer Relationship · 10-16% of the exam

Night-before checklist

Chapter 4 · 6 items

Six points, and they split where the chapter does — formation first, then running the matter:

A consultation triggers Rule 1.18 duties regardless of whether representation results.
Rule 6.1 is aspirational; failing to meet 50 hours per year isn't disciplinable.
Court-appointed lawyers must not seek to avoid appointment except for good cause; Rule 6.2's listed grounds illustrate good cause rather than define it.
Rule 1.14 protective action is permissive, not mandatory, even when all three conditions are present.
The client owns the destination; the lawyer owns the route — SPATE + J decisions belong to the client.
Rules 1.4 and 1.2 failures often arise from the same set of facts.
