Overview

The most vexing ethics questions for lawyers aren't the ones that come up on the MPRE exam. Practicing lawyers have more practical questions. Such as: When am I allowed to (safely) discard closed files? What kind of information can I store online with cloud services like Dropbox or Google mail? What terms can I put in my engagement agreement? (An arbitration clause?) What issues does social media use create? (for me, and my client?) Get the answers (yes, there really are answers) to these and other everyday problems that confound many a lawyer. Get model fee agreements, and more. Get Louisiana Legal Ethics: Standards & Commentary, a recently updated compendium of useful citations and indispensable practical advice. This book contains (1) the full text of the Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, (2) background information about the adoption of each rule by the Louisiana Supreme Court, (3) related ABA resources, including comments to the corresponding ABA model rule, and (4) annotations discussing Louisiana case law, administrative decisions and other authorities relevant to each rule. It also contains selected professionalism materials, ABA materials and practice materials. Dane S. Ciolino edits and annotates this book. He serves as the Alvin R. Christovich Distinguished Professor of Law at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he teaches legal ethics.
