Product Description
Intended for use in conjunction with the current edition of West's Professional Responsibility Standards, Rules & Statutes. Each chapter begins with a set of problems for discussion in the classroom. For each major topic, background reading material illustrates the variety of sources a lawyer or judge can use when seeking answers to ethics questions. The materials include ethics rule, judicial opinions, ethics committee opinions, and excerpts from articles and books written by judges, lawyers, and law teachers. Supplemental readings from the ABA Model Code, from the Law of Lawyering by Geoffrey Hazard and William Hodes, from Modern Legal Ethics by Charles Wolfram, and from various drafts of the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers.

Decent Textbook, but reading a Rule Book is more Helpful December 12, 2007
Normally a law school text book is filled with case after case. Well for those of you who hate reading case after case, then this is the book for you.
On average there is only 1 case per chapter, with the remainder of the chapter devoted to ABA opinions and or Law review articles. While the articles are insightful, they really don't give you any more of an understanding of the ABA Rules, than just reading the rules with the commentary. What is good about this text, however, are the discussion problems at the beginning of the chapter and the multiple choice problems at the end of each chapter. These problems will help you better understand and think about the ABA Model rules.
Overall the book isn't too bad, but you if you have a copy of the ABA rules along with the commentary then this book becomes worthless for the most part.
