Learning Professional Responsibility: From the Classroom to the Practice of Law (Learning Series) - Tapa dura

Learning Professional Responsibility engages students by offering colorful, real-life examples of how the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility guide and regulate lawyers in the everyday practice of law. This textbook deconstructs the Rules and bypasses long case law narratives in favor of clear examples and illustrations drawing on ethics opinions, current events and lawyer news, online commentary, and court decisions. This first edition further highlights cutting-edge issues in professional responsibility, including the recent Ethics 20/20 amendments and topics such as the scope of representation, the duty of candor, conflicts, and the duty to protect client confidences in electronic formats. This edition will also provide a comprehensive teacher's manual containing classroom hypotheticals, simulations, writing exercises, quiz questions, PowerPoint slides, video and music recommendations, and other support.
