As amended through August 27, 2024

Rule LLLT RPC 5.2 - RESPONSIBILITIES OF A SUBORDINATE LLLT

(a) An LLLT is bound by the LLLT RPC notwithstanding that the LLLT acted at the direction of another person.

(b) A subordinate LLLT does not violate the LLLT RPC if that LLLT acts in accordance with a supervisory LLLT or a supervisory lawyer's reasonable resolution of an arguable question of professional duty.

Comment

[1] This Rule was adapted from Lawyer RPC 5.2 with no substantive changes except to reflect that LLLTs and lawyers may practice in the same firm. It applies to LLLTs and to firms in which both LLLTs and lawyers are associated analogously.
