Product Description
Now in its Second Edition, Examples & Explanations: Professional Responsibility continues to be an appropriate ancillary source for students in any Professional Responsibility course. Not only does it utilize the proven pedagogy of the E&E series, but it is a completely comprehensive and well-balanced text. This problem-oriented guide is not a simple march through the Model Rules. Instead, it is structured around concepts, with rules and the generally applicable law introduced as needed.

This edition retains the great features that made it a dependable source for students in its First Edition:

  • covers the entire law governing lawyers
  • includes agency, fiduciary duty, tort, contract, constitutional, and corporate and securities law.
  • applies concepts and introduces the generally applicable law as needed, avoiding a narrow focus on the Model Rules
  • supplements textual discussions with examples that work through progressively more complex issues
  • uses both text and problems to break the analysis down into steps
  • presents a balanced approach to controversial issues
  • offers an accessible, conversational style
  • draws examples from actual cases, so they are representative of the problems students can expect to encounter in practice
  • incorporates the new sources of law (ABA's Ethics 2000 Initiative, Restatement of Law Governing Lawyers, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) organically, rather than as add-ons

Carefully revised in its Second Edition, this fully up-to-date source:

  • integrates carefully and thoughtfully updated cases, ethics opinions, and problems
  • emphasizes the newest versions of the ABA rules, while retaining information about the older rules where necessary

5 out of 5 stars Well written text and worth every cents of your money.   August 12, 2007

This book is well written and provides excellent guide on the subjet. The text organizes in a clear and understandable presentation, and the examples and explanations provide in-depth discussion of key points. This book provides more info than the background needed for MPRE. However, this is not an drill book on the MPRE tests. You may get the drill questions from NCBE.


5 out of 5 stars Got me through the final   January 6, 2009

My legal pro professor was lacking in an ability to convey an understanding of the material. I spent a few days working through each applicable chapter of this book. It really taught me the material in a way that I could get a working knowledge of it. Unfortunately for me I only had enough time to read the text of the chapters and get a basic understanding of the material...and ended up with a B. I think with time to go through the examples and explanations I would have gotten the A. Gonna hold onto it for the MRPE.


5 out of 5 stars Great Review for Law Students   October 9, 2009
SECPerks (Nashville, TN)
The summaries of the blackletter law are great. I buy these E&E books for the hypos, though. I do much better on exams when I can work through the examples and explanations as party of my study routine.


4 out of 5 stars Puts those wordy rules into laymen terms   November 9, 2008

The PR rules can get overwhelming because they're so wordy and long. This series does a good job of putting it into plain language and gives really good examples. I recommend it.


4 out of 5 stars Good Coverage and Depth, Index Needs Work   February 24, 2010
G. Godfrey
I've found this book helpful as a supplement to my professional responsibility class. However, the publishers have inexplicably neglected to include page references to the model rules in the index, or anywhere else for that matter. This means that if I know that we will be discussing Model Rule 1.6 in class, I cannot go to the index or some other table to find the relevant pages where it is listed. Instead, I must look through the table of contents and think: "Hmmm, which of these topics is most related to MR 1.6." The process gets tiresome.

Otherwise no complaints.
