(Today's lawyer is obliged to act as a representative of c...)
Today's lawyer is obliged to act as a representative of clients, officer of the legal system, and public citizen. The difficult problems of "professional responsibility" arise not from lawyers misunderstanding right from wrong, but from the overlap and resulting conflict of these three functions. Addresses the constant interaction of lawyers through the considerably leaner, problem-oriented second edition. Most reading materials and notes that follow are designed to help the student or at least respond to each problem; some material and notes raise further, related issues. New readings abound, although the authors have retained a number of principal cases and readings most helpful in dealing with particular issues.

The Fourth Edition of this popular text continues the tradition of using problems to help students identify professional responsibility issues, then providing references to the relevant Model Rules and excerpts from reported cases, ethics committee opinions, law review and bar journal articles, and other secondary sources. The approach is comprehensive, with discussions of all of the Model Rules and most of the Model Code of Judicial Conduct, including new provisions of both sets of rules adopted since the Third Edition of the text. The text is still a reasonable size (600 pages), allowing instructors to cover the entire book in a three hour class. The Teacher’s Manual and website provide instructors with lecture outlines, PowerPoint slides, a sample syllabus, and even sample quiz and final examination questions, so this is not just a textbook, but also a complete “course kit” for Professional Responsibility instructors.
