Professional Responsibility Examples & Explanations, 2e

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
