Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) practice questions: the prompt for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

You are writing exam-style multiple-choice practice questions for me. I am preparing for Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), set by NCBE. Write questions that match the real exam's content, difficulty and style, drawn from the current official syllabus.

Write 20 questions. Each must be a standalone multiple-choice question that can be answered from its own stem and options, with exactly the right answer(s) marked and nothing ambiguous.

Set each question's `topic` to one of these names, copied exactly (same words, same capitalization; these are the only topic names the import accepts):
- Regulation of the legal profession (subtopics: Powers of courts and other bodies to regulate lawyers; Admission to the profession; Regulation after admission—lawyer discipline; Mandatory and permissive reporting of professional misconduct; Unauthorized practice of law—by lawyers and nonlawyers; Multijurisdictional practice; Fee division with a nonlawyer; Law firm and other forms of practice; Responsibilities of partners, managers, supervisory and subordinate lawyers; Restrictions on right to practice)
- The client-lawyer relationship (subtopics: Formation of client-lawyer relationship; Scope, objective, and means of the representation; Decision-making authority—actual and apparent; Counsel and assistance within the bounds of the law; Termination of the client-lawyer relationship; Client-lawyer contracts; Communications with the client; Fees)
- Client confidentiality (subtopics: Attorney-client privilege; Work-product doctrine; Professional obligation of confidentiality—general rule; Disclosures expressly or impliedly authorized by client; Other exceptions to the confidentiality rule)
- Conflicts of interest (subtopics: Current client conflicts—multiple clients and joint representation; Current client conflicts—lawyer’s personal interest or duties; Former client conflicts; Prospective client conflicts; Imputed conflicts; Acquiring an interest in litigation; Business transactions with clients; Third-party compensation and influence; Lawyers currently or formerly in government service; Former judge, arbitrator, mediator, or other third-party neutral)
- Competence, legal malpractice, and other civil liability (subtopics: Maintaining competence; Competence necessary to undertake representation; Exercising diligence and care; Civil liability to client, including malpractice; Civil liability to nonclients; Limiting liability for malpractice; Malpractice insurance and risk prevention)
- Litigation and other forms of advocacy (subtopics: Meritorious claims and contentions; Expediting litigation; Candor to the tribunal; Fairness to opposing party and counsel; Impartiality and decorum of the tribunal; Trial publicity; Lawyer as witness)
- Transactions and communications with persons other than clients (subtopics: Truthfulness in statements to others; Communications with represented persons; Communications with unrepresented persons; Respect for rights of third persons)
- Different roles of the lawyer (subtopics: Lawyer as advisor; Lawyer as evaluator; Lawyer as negotiator; Lawyer as arbitrator, mediator, or other third-party neutral; Prosecutors and other government lawyers; Lawyer appearing in nonadjudicative proceeding; Lawyer representing an entity or other organization)
- Safekeeping funds and other property (subtopics: Establishing and maintaining client trust accounts; Safekeeping funds and other property of clients; Safekeeping funds and other property of third persons; Disputed claims)
- Communications about legal services (subtopics: Advertising and other public communications about legal services; Solicitation—direct contact with prospective clients; Group legal services; Referrals; Communications regarding fields of practice and specialization)
- Lawyers' duties to the public and the legal system (subtopics: Voluntary pro bono service; Accepting appointments; Serving in legal services organizations; Law reform activities affecting client interests; Criticism of judges and adjudicating officials; Political contributions to obtain engagements or appointments; Improper influence on government officials; Assisting judicial misconduct)
- Judicial conduct (subtopics: Maintaining the independence and impartiality of the judiciary; Performing the duties of judicial office impartially, competently, and diligently; Ex parte communications; Disqualification; Extrajudicial activities)
Where subtopics are listed, set `subtopic` to one of them; otherwise choose a short, specific `subtopic` of your own or leave it out.

Spread the questions across the topics in the real exam's proportions, about:
- Regulation of the legal profession: 2 (6–12% of the real exam)
- The client-lawyer relationship: 3 (10–16% of the real exam)
- Client confidentiality: 2 (6–12% of the real exam)
- Conflicts of interest: 3 (12–18% of the real exam)
- Competence, legal malpractice, and other civil liability: 2 (6–12% of the real exam)
- Litigation and other forms of advocacy: 3 (10–16% of the real exam)
- Transactions and communications with persons other than clients: 1 (2–8% of the real exam)
- Different roles of the lawyer: 1 (4–10% of the real exam)
- Safekeeping funds and other property: 1 (2–8% of the real exam)
- Communications about legal services: 1 (4–10% of the real exam)
- Lawyers' duties to the public and the legal system: 0 (2–4% of the real exam)
- Judicial conduct: 1 (2–8% of the real exam)

Give each question exactly 4 options. Options are plain text without letter prefixes (DoMcq labels them A, B, C… by position); make them similar in length and form so the right one does not stand out.
Every question has exactly one correct option; `answer` is a single letter.
Never use these as an option: "all of the above", "none of the above". Avoid "both A and B" style options too.

Write stems the way the real exam does, for example: "Is the attorney subject to discipline?"; "Was the attorney’s conduct proper?"; "Was the judge’s conduct proper?".
Keep each stem self-contained (any scenario the question needs is in the stem), concrete and free of trick wording. Do not refer to other questions, images, tables or exhibits.

Mix the difficulty: about 6 easy, 10 medium and 4 hard, and set each question's `difficulty` to "easy", "medium" or "hard" accordingly.

In `explanation`, say in two to four sentences why the correct answer is correct, in a way that teaches the underlying point, not just restates the option.

In `source`, give a short reference I can check in my own study materials (a syllabus topic, a chapter or section name, a learning objective, or a standard's clause), at most 200 characters; never invent a page number or a quotation.

Leave out `rationales` and `id`.

Before you answer, check your own work: no two questions ask the same thing; no question gives away another's answer; the correct option sits in a different position from one question to the next (never always the same letter); every `answer` letter exists for that question; the correct option is correct according to the current official material, not folklore; facts are accurate. Fix anything you find.

Output the whole set as one JSON object in the `domcq/1` format (schema: https://domcq.com/schema/v1; this is the import format of https://domcq.com):

```json
{
  "format": "domcq/1",
  "exam": "mpre",
  "set": "Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) practice – [a short name for this set]",
  "questions": [
    {
      "stem": "[the question, 10–2000 characters]",
      "options": [
        "[option 1]",
        "[option 2]",
        "[option 3]",
        "[option 4]"
      ],
      "answer": "B",
      "explanation": "[why the correct answer is correct, 1–3000 characters]",
      "topic": "Regulation of the legal profession",
      "subtopic": "[optional, more specific]",
      "difficulty": "medium",
      "source": "[a reference I can check]"
    }
  ]
}
```

Rules the import enforces: `format` is exactly "domcq/1"; `set` is 1–120 characters; `questions` holds all 20; each question has exactly the fields shown (no others); `stem` is 10–2000 characters and each option 1–500; `options` are all different; `answer` uses capital letters A–F naming options by position, in ascending order, never every option; `explanation` (1–3000 characters) and `topic` are required; `subtopic` (up to 120 characters), `difficulty` ("easy", "medium" or "hard") and `source` (up to 200 characters) are optional. Use plain double quotes in JSON strings (escape any inside text as \"), no trailing commas, no comments.

Reply with the JSON object inside a single ```json code fence and nothing else: no introduction, no commentary, no notes after it. If the set is long, keep going until every question is written and the JSON is complete and closed.
