Practice question: Sanggunian Members (RA 7160, Sec. 90(b))

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A member-lawyer teaches a private evening class that conflicts with an actual sanggunian session. The member uses no public resources and has no government-adverse client. Does compliance with the lawyer-specific clauses eliminate the session-hours issue?
  1. No; the teaching limitation during session hours independently applies
  2. Yes; no legal client means every session conflict is permitted
  3. Yes; private resources erase the session restriction
  4. Only the students’ consent matters
  5. Only the subject taught matters
