Publisher's Synopsis
The Ninth Edition incorporates all of the amendments the ABA has made to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct through February 2019 - including the 2018 amendments to the advertising rules and new Model Rule 8.4(g), prohibiting discrimination and harassment in conduct related to the practice of law.
Comprehensive and authoritative: Each chapter begins with the rule and its comment, a link to charts comparing each state's rule with the Model Rule, and then presents a detailed discussion of how the rule has been applied. The book gives citations to thousands of court cases, ethics opinions, law review articles, and internet resources, as well as treatises, the Restatement (3rd) of the Law Governing Lawyers, and the legislative history of the Model Rules.
