In representing a client, an LLLT shall exercise independent professional judgment and render candid advice. In rendering advice, an LLLT may refer not only to law but to other considerations, such as moral, economic, social and political factors, that may be relevant to the client's situation.

Comment
[1] This Rule was adapted from Lawyer RPC 2.1 with no substantive changes and applies to LLLTs analogously.
[2] This Rule and its requirement regarding the exercise of independent professional judgment do not expand the limitations on the authorized scope of an LLLT's practice under APR 28 and related regulations.
