Carrie is a freelance paralegal who is doing some legal research for a client law firm. She works in a firm that is in State G, a state that uses the ABA Model Rules as the template for its state law on professional responsibility.
 
  As is often the case, there is no law in her state on the issue she is researching. There is, however, case law (a case directly on point) from State Y that also uses the ABA Model Rules as the basis for its state law.
 
  The next step Carrie should take in her research is:
 
  A) only look for cases from her state because other state case law is irrelevant
  B) compare the relevant State G professional conduct rule with the corresponding rule in State Y. If they are the same, then she may be able to use case she found.
  C) compare the State G professional conduct rule with the ABA Model Rule. If State G has changed the rule, then it is invalid.
  D) check for other cases, because the case she found is useless.
