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.

This is a better than average casebook, with multiple choice questions and answers, on point cases, good commentary and a writing style that can be approached by the layperson. It is almost worth taking a look through or a read if you regularly engage lawyers, are involved in a lawsuit, or are thinking of doing so. You will learn a lot, and better understand the whats and whys of the ethics of legal practice.
