Lawyers often suppose that the entire law of professional responsibility is contained in the profession’s codes. However, “other” law (criminal law, tort law, procedural law, securities law, etc.) plays an equally and sometimes more important role in regulating a lawyer’s conduct. This three-credit course will focus on an examination of the ways in which ethics codes and “other” law work together to shape a lawyer’s course of action in different contexts (business transactions, civil litigation, government representation, criminal defense). We also will examine the role of market, educational, and social institutions in the regulation of the legal profession. This course satisfies the professional responsibility requirements for upper-year students.
