Continuing the tradition that has made it a leader in its field, this casebook uses problems to provide an overview of lawyers' professional responsibility. One of the most rapidly changing fields in American law, professional responsibility sees new issues, rules and cases each year, all of which are covered in this book. The Tenth Edition has been carefully designed to be familiar to long time users, and accessible to new ones. It continues its tradition of offering the most usable and up-to-date course materials to teach legal ethics and the law governing the practice of law.Despite maintaining its familiar structure, the treatise covers all current developments in the field. This Edition covers the new American Bar Association's Model Rules of Judicial Conduct, which were extensively rewritten in 2007, as well as the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which were also extensively rewritten in 2002; the American Law Institute's Restatement Third, The Law Governing Lawyers; and issues raised by federal agencies that play an important role in determining lawyer standards. Other notable changes include more citing authorities; fewer black letter questions and issues in each problem to allow more time for discussion and questions; and the integration of readings into discussion materials.

Not the Greatest Book,

This review is from: Professional Responsibility, Problems and Materials (University Casebooks) (Hardcover)
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this book. I am generally used to books actually conveying information. This book, however, only asks you questions and really does not give you any answers. Unfortunately, I was required to use it for my class. I strongly advise that you just study from a treatise or the rules themselves--this book is not of any substantive value. However, I did like the fact that it provided a hypothetical for each section and then worked you through it.

I don't like the way the text is set-up; problem-->questions-->actual material. That said, if your prof. for Professional Responsibility requires this book, it's fine.

Not Informative & Poorly Written,

This review is from: Professional Responsibility, Problems and Materials (University Casebooks) (Hardcover)
This is one of the most poorly put together casebooks that I have ever used, which is very disconcerting considering that Legal Ethics is a mandatory course in nearly every American law school.
The book utilizes an overall problem to illustrate a large legal topic supplemented by smaller questions that relate to that overall problem. However, the author never provides any answers to the questions or the problem. Instead, he inserts extremely edited cases or case summaries after the question, some of which do not even attempt to answer the questions. Sadly, if your professor chooses to use this book there isn't much you can do. I'd recommend not buying the book and using a commercial outline instead. For the price and the very little knowledge it actually conveys, this book is not worth purchasing.
