Which guideline states 'Obey orders of the judge'?

• A. Honest and accurate
• B. Neat in appearance
• C. Don't guess - okay to say IDK
• D. Obey orders of the judge

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing the obligation to follow the court’s directions. The guideline that says to obey orders of the judge is the best choice because it directly communicates a mandatory duty for anyone involved in legal proceedings or investigations: comply with the judge’s directives, respect the court, and avoid actions that could be seen as contempt. This principle ensures the process remains lawful and orderly, and it helps protect the integrity and admissibility of evidence.

The other options describe important traits—being honest and accurate, presenting a neat appearance, and not guessing but saying IDK—but they do not address the specific responsibility to follow a judge’s commands, which is a distinct and fundamental expectation in formal proceedings.
