Extractions: The basic ethics seminar course covers a traditional ethics curriculum in a relatively traditional order. It begins with the client-lawyer relationship, proceeds through a lengthy analysis of the tension between the client-lawyer relationship and the lawyer's obligations to the justice system and society, and concludes with discussions of economic issues (billing, advertising and solicitation, legal services and pro bono work). The course specifically addresses both bias and substance abuse in the profession, and has among its recurring themes the pressures faced by young law firm associates, the effect of a law firm's "culture" on the ability to practice ethically, and the tension between acting morally while remaining within the bounds of legal ethics. Course coverage also focuses on several practice areas often unrecognized or minimized, which we find will directly impact working lives of many of our students. The most significant of these issues are: the ethical dilemmas facing insurance defense counsel;

Extractions: Prepared by Mary Rumsey; Revised July 2003 Table of Contents The rules that regulate lawyers' conduct are generally promulgated by the ABA and then adopted by states. The earliest standards adopted by the ABA were the Canons of 1908. In 1969/1970, the ABA adopted the Code of Professional Conduct. Many states adopted this Code. Some of these states switched to the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility when the ABA adopted them in 1983; others retained the Code. Thus, both the Model Rules and the Code of Professional Conduct are still published. They appear in several sources (see Standards and Opinions, below). Amendments to the ABA standards are noted in the annual ABA Reports and in the monthly ABA Journal . The ABA's Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility and its predecessor committees have issued ethics opinions since 1924 (see Standards and Opinions, below) In Minnesota, the relevant rules are the

Extractions: HOW TO "PARTNER" WITH OTHER LAWYERS By Joseph A. DeWoskin After almost nine years on active duty with the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, I found myself at a crossroads in my legal career. Opting to take a road not often traveled by the friends I had made in the military, I decided to leave active military service and work at a law firm, enjoying all the feelings of job safety and financial protection that come with a big firm. Of course I flooded the local area with résumés, targeting all types of firms. I interviewed with some, was offered employment by some, and then, as I was mulling over what to do, a friend of mine presented me with an interesting opportunity: "Come and open your own practice in our office. If you're willing and able to take a chance, it will be the best opportunity to practice law you could ever have." The best opportunity I could ever have? I had to find out more. "Well," my friend said, "it's an office-share situation. We're all partners, but not in the traditional sense of the word. We're solo practitioners who run our own practices-a few have an associate-but we have the comfort and security of other attorneys to share expenses, discuss cases, and refer cases outside our practice areas."

Extractions: SEX WITH A CLIENT: ALWAYS A VIOLATION? Adopt the ABA's Specific Prohibition Nancy J. Moore In August 2001, the American Bar Association's Ethics 2000 Commission recommended extensive changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct; in February of this year, the vast majority of these recommendations were adopted. Among them is an entirely new Rule 1.8(j), which states, "A lawyer shall not have sexual relations with a client unless a consensual sexual relationship existed between them when the client-lawyer relationship commenced."1 A Comment clarifies that when the client is an organization, the prohibition applies only to sexual relations with a constituent who supervises, directs, or regularly consults with the lawyer concerning the organization's legal matters.2 Many states already have adopted rules explicitly regulating client-lawyer sexual relationships. The rest of the states are now faced with the decision whether to join the ABA in adopting a rule that prohibits most such relationships or to continue dealing with the problem on a case-by-case basis under existing rules. There can be no dispute that sex with clients is a serious problem for the legal profession. Detailed statistics currently are not available, but the number of complaints filed by clients against their lawyers for ethical violations arising out of sexual relationships is growing.3 Nonconsensual sexual relationships are clearly both criminal and unethical. However, even consensual relationships between clients and lawyers are problematic.

Extractions: Canon Two of the Code of Professional Responsibility recites that a lawyer should assist the profession in fulfilling its duty to make legal counsel available and should render pro bono services. Regardless of whether lawyers consider this axiomatic norm to be an aspirational goal or a "duty" as the Canon states, consumers and legislatures are forcing the organized bar to compete with prepaid legal services plans, pro se help centers, small claims courts, certified nonlawyer mediators, registered nonlawyer real estate settlement agents, and courthouse assistance projects. In addition, the Internet and software companies have provided the consumer with a variety of self-help resources including legal research and legal forms or documents. Some members of the bar insist that the mandatory bars should "crack down" on this intrusion using the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) rules.
Extractions: Books Research on Legal Ethics requires some different tools than other areas of law. We cannot rely on the standard primary sources - constitutions, statutes and codes, administrative regulations, and judicial opinions. The only true primary sources for mandatory authority are (1) the state codes of attorney ethics (or professional responsibility) for the jurisdiction, and (2) case law. Other sources discussed herein are secondary, persuasive authority. For additional information about sources for research on legal ethics, you can consult Resources for Research in Legal Ethics by Todd W. Grant (Law Annex KF306 .G73 1992). For information about legal ethics resources in Massachusetts, see section 5.6 in Handbook of Legal Research in Massachusetts , Mary Anne Neary, ed. (Law Ref KFM 2475 H36 2002).
