This law textbook gives guidelines for exercising judgment in common problems and situation students will face as lawyers. Guidelines are based on the ABA Model Rules and the agency law principles reflected in those rules, and on the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers. Offering a practical perspective, the book explains how to analyze situations in three ways: dynamically, interactively, and probabilistically. Case studies, selected for student interest, involve junior lawyers confronting common practice pressures. Coverage encompasses confidentiality, attorney-client privilege, liability to non-clients, conflicts of interest, ethics in advocacy, and special problems for business lawyers and government lawyers. This third edition decreases it emphasis on the law in California. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
