In cross-jurisdiction practice, which rules apply to advertising and professional conduct when services are provided in another jurisdiction?

• A. The jurisdiction where the services are provided
• B. Your home jurisdiction's rules
• C. The most restrictive rules among involved jurisdictions
• D. All jurisdictions' rules must be followed

Answer: (A)

When you practice law in a jurisdiction other than your own, the rules that govern advertising and professional conduct are the rules of the place where you are providing the services. That host jurisdiction’s standards apply to how you advertise and how you conduct yourself while working there, ensuring the public in that area is protected by local expectations. Your home state's rules don’t automatically govern those actions, and you don’t have to follow every jurisdiction’s rules at once—the applicable rules are those of the place where the services are rendered.
