Course Description
This course will examine the core concepts of professional responsibility: competence, complicity, conflicts of interest, and confidentiality. The course will cover the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, but it is not a course solely about the ethics rules. Rather, a major theme of the course is the interaction between the ethics rules and the broader law of lawyering, including tort law, criminal law, agency law, securities law, and the attorney-client privilege. The course will focus on corporate practice (including litigation and transactional lawyering), but will give some attention to other types of practice.
