An essential resource on lawyer ethics -- revised and updated
The Annotated Model Rules of Professional Conduct is the ABA's definitive single-volume resource for information about lawyer ethics. This new edition incorporates all of the amendments the ABA made to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct through 2007, including changes to the rules on confidentiality, on prospective clients, on corporations as clients, on limited-scope representation agreements, on multijurisdictional practice, and on the lawyer's duties when confronted by a client's criminal or fraudulent activities.
Comprehensive and authoritative
Each chapter begins with the rule and its comment, and then presents a detailed discussion of how the rule has been applied. The book gives citations to thousands of court cases, ethics opinions, law review articles, and internet resources, as well as treatises, the Restatement (3rd) of the Law Governing Lawyers, and the legislative history of the Model Rules. Now that most jurisdictions have amended their rules in response to the Model Rules amendments, this is the first edition of the AMR to provide analysis of a critical mass of ethics opinions and case law interpreting the new rules.
For all jurisdictions and practice settings
The Model Rules of Professional Conduct replaced the Model Code of Professional Responsibility in 1983. In 2002, as a result of the work of Ethics 2000, the ABA adopted across-the-board revisions to the rules. Subsequent amendments to individual rules followed as a result of the work of the ABA's Multijurisdictional Practice Commission and the ABA's Task Force on Corporate Responsibility.- The vast majority of jurisdictions have reviewed their ethics rules since 2002 and have adopted the ABA's amendments either verbatim or in modified form; most other jurisdictions are in the process of doing so.
- Disciplinary authorities and federal, state, and local courts in all jurisdictions, even those that have not formally adopted them, look to the rules for guidance in disciplinary actions, disqualification motions, discovery disputes, motions for sanctions, motions to suppress, motions to quash, and, increasingly, lawyer malpractice actions.
