Legal & Judicial Ethics, 2011 Bar — Question 5

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Sheryl, Eric's counsel, once asked for postponement and the court granted it since the opposing counsel, Bernadine, did not object. Eric then asked Sheryl not to allow any further postponements because his case has been pending for 8 years. When trial resumed, Bernadine moved to reset the trial because of her infant's ailment. What must Sheryl do? (A) Remind the Court that it has the duty to promptly decide the case. (B) Interpose no objection since she too once sought postponement without Bernadine's objection. (C) Vehemently oppose Bernadine's motion for being contrary to Eric's wishes. (D) Submit the motion to the Court's sound discretion.
