Course Description:
This survey course will give you an overview of the law governing lawyers through the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules), the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct (Model Code), case law, statutes, ethics opinions, and hypothetical scenarios. The Model Rules and Model Code are not binding in any particular state, but rather serve as a template that has been used by most (but not all) states to craft rules for their state bars. The ultimate objective of the course is to give students both a working knowledge of the law governing lawyers and the practice of law and legal ethics and an appreciation for the difficulties and challenges that the professional currently confronts.
