This essential book shows how to approach concrete problems that arise in everyday practice while staying within the letter and spirit of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. It provides the full text of each Model Rule provision in sequence, followed by the authors' guidance and commentary which puts the rule into context, identifies its key features, and shows its relation to other Rules. Clear, realistic examples and illustrative cases demonstrate how each Rule applies in practice.   Substantially revised and updated, the handbook reflects the latest developments in the law governing lawyer conduct, including the new model rules on trial publicity, fee dispute litigation and arbitration concerns, new "risk analysis" treatment of conflicts of interest issues, developments regarding advertising and the commercial speech doctrine, trial publicity, and the latest amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The Law of Lawyering: A Handbook on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct

Aspen Law & Business

From divorce proceedings to personal injury disputes to lawsuits over busing, affirmative action, and labor relations, most conflicts in American society may eventually find their way into a courtroom. Such civil conflicts, which do not involve violations of the criminal code, encompass both actions between private parties and public controversies. This clear and direct book by two distinguished professors of law describes and analyzes civil litigation in the United States. Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., and Michele Taruffo discuss both specific details and broader themes of American civil litigation, explaining (without legalese) jury trial, the adversary system, the power of courts to make law as well as to "declare" it, and the role of civil justice in government and in the resolution of controversial social issues. Hazard and Taruffo examine the stages of civil procedure, including the lawyers' role in: preparing and presenting cases; the pretrial, pleading and discovery, trial, and appeal process; and procedural variations. They explore the historical evolution of common law and procedure and compare American civil procedure with that in other modern societies in Europe, Latin America, and Japan. They conclude by discussing the economic, political, and moral constraints on litigation, possible innovations to the process, and the political significance of public access to civil justice.

American Civil Procedure: An Introduction

A multifaceted analysis of the legal and societal impact of Roger John Traynor (1900-1983), who served as the 23rd Chief Justice of California from 1964 to 1970, and as an Associate Justice from 1940 to 1964. Each chapter looks at a major area of jurisprudence, analyzing Traynor's impact, replete with citations and references. A nationally respected jurist, Traynor's 30-year career as California's 77th Justice coincided with tremendous demographic, social, and governmental growth in California and in the United States of America, and was marked by a belief that the increased presence of government in American life was a necessary and beneficial phenomenon.
