LPP Oath --- correct precise answer ---"I do solemnly swear
that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution of the State of Utah; that I
will discharge the duties of licensed paralegal practitioner as

Preamble, LPP Responsibilities [2] --- correct precise answer -
--[2] As a representative of clients, a licensed paralegal
practitioner performs various functions. As advisor, a licensed
paralegal practitioner provides a client with an informed
understanding of the client's legal rights and obligations and
explains their practical implications. As advocate, a licensed
paralegal practitioner zealously asserts the client's position
under the rules of the adversary system. As negotiator, a
licensed paralegal practitioner seeks a result advantageous to
the client but consistent with requirements of honest dealings
with others. A licensed paralegal practitioner's representation
of a client does not constitute an endorsement of the client's
political, economic, social or moral views or activities.
Preamble, LPP Responsibilities [3] --- correct precise answer -
--[3] In addition to these representational functions, a
licensed paralegal practitioner may serve as a third-party
neutral, a nonrepresentational role helping the parties to
resolve a dispute or other matter. Some of these Rules apply
directly to licensed paralegal practitioners who are or have
served as third-party neutrals. See, e.g., Rules 1.12 and 2.4. In
addition, there are rules that apply to licensed paralegal
,practitioners who are not active in the practice of law or to
practicing licensed paralegal practitioners even when they are
acting in a nonprofessional capacity. For example, a licensed
paralegal practitioner who commits fraud in the conduct of a
business is subject to discipline for engaging in conduct
involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. See
Rule 8.4.
Preamble, LPP Responsibilities [4] --- correct precise answer -
--[4] In all professional functions a licensed paralegal
practitioner should be competent, prompt and diligent. A
licensed paralegal practitioner should maintain
communication with a client concerning the representation. A
licensed paralegal practitioner should keep in confidence
information relating to representation of a client except so far
as disclosure is required or permitted by the Licensed
Paralegal Practitioner Rules of Professional Conduct or other
law.
Preamble, LPP Responsibilities [5] --- correct precise answer -
--[5] A licensed paralegal practitioner's conduct should
conform to the requirements of the law, both in professional
service to clients and in the licensed paralegal practitioner's
business and personal affairs. A licensed paralegal
practitioner should use the law's procedures only for
legitimate purposes and not to harass or intimidate others. A
licensed paralegal practitioner should demonstrate respect for
the legal system and for those who serve it, including judges,
, attorneys, other licensed paralegal practitioners and public
officials. While it is a licensed paralegal practitioner's duty,
when necessary, to challenge the rectitude of official action, it
is also a licensed paralegal practitioner's duty to uphold legal
process.
Reamble, LPP Responsibilities [6] --- correct precise answer --
-[6] As a public citizen, a licensed paralegal practitioner
should seek improvement of the law, access to the legal
system, the administration of justice and the quality of service
rendered by the legal profession. In addition, a licensed
paralegal practitioner should further the public's
understanding of and confidence in the rule of law and the
justice system because legal institutions in a constitutional
democracy depend on popular participation and support to
maintain their authority. A licensed paralegal practitioner
should be mindful of deficiencies in the administration of
justice and of the fact that the poor, and sometimes persons
who are not poor, cannot afford adequate legal assistance and,
therefore, all licensed paralegal practitioners should devote
professional time and resources and use civic influence in
their behalf to ensure equal access to our system of justice for
all those who because of economic or social barriers cannot
afford or secure adequate legal counsel. A licensed paralegal
practitioner should aid the legal profession in pursuing these
objectives and should help the Bar regulate itself in the public
interest.
