How should a lawyer respond to a client demanding a quick opinion on a recent court decision's impact on their case?

Provide an immediate opinion
Advise in writing that a proper opinion cannot be rendered quickly
Decline to provide any opinion
Ask for an extension from the court

The correct answer is: Advise in writing that a proper opinion cannot be rendered quickly

A Providing an immediate opinion may not be the best approach as it may not be well-informed or well-considered due to the lack of time for thorough research and analysis. C: Declining to provide any opinion may leave the client feeling disregarded and unsatisfied with the lawyer's services. D: Asking for an extension from the court may not be relevant to responding to the client's demands for a quick opinion.
