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

 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.
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.
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.
 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.
Great Book, but not for the MPRE March 7, 2010

Well written and informative. Unusually lucid for a book on the law. Author occasionally lets his politics slip, but it's his book after all.
This would be a good companion text for any professional responsibility course in law school. It goes over the Model Code, Model Rules and Restatement. It discusses conflicting policy considerations and alternative resolutions reached by different courts. Good stuff. It will help you write a strong essay on a final exam.
If you are taking the MPRE, however, this book won't help much. The discussion of different rules just confuses the issue--for the MPRE all you need is the Model Rules. Also, there are several topics on the MPRE which are not covered in this book, the most obvious example being the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct. My advice, if you are taking the MPRE, is to read the rules and do as many practice questions as humanely possible. That's all the study you'll ever need for the MPRE.
Also worth mentioning is that very few practicing attorneys will find this a useful reference. This is an academic discussion. It covers the Model rules, not the rules in the jurisdiction where you practice. So just do what everyone else does--call the state bar ethics hotline when you have a question, and let them deal with it.
