Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

An ADR neutral may recommend or provide legal information that has been published in
some form or another and is available to the public. He or she may also recommend
attorneys and other individuals who can legally provide advice. He or she may even be able to
quote the text of laws that apply. But the neutral may not offer legal opinions or advice on
how to proceed in a legal matter. For example, a neutral learns that a pro se party to divorce
is unaware of her marital property rights under state law. In response, the neutral offers a
brochure on the topic prepared by the a local association of family law attorneys, and
recommends the names of three competent family law attorneys who take low income
clients. The neutral may even quote and explain the provisions of the applicable statute. But
the neutral may not counsel the party on what items of the party's property constitute the
marital estate or how to obtain them in the negotiations to follow.
