Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.
The Model Rules of Professional Conduct were designed to cover the practice of law in all settings. However, the changes that have occurred in the practice of corporate law have in many instances tested the scope of the rules and have required thoughtful analysis by corporate lawyers to ensure their ongoing ethical behavior. Clients using multiple law firms depending upon the issue, lawyer mobility, and the continuing growth of the role of in-house counsel have each created consistent tensions. This course will examine these issues though actual examples, focusing on the scope of the representation, determining who the client or clients may be, the use of confidential information and when it must or may be disclosed, conflict resolution, the duties within the entity, the unique position of a law firm associate or corporate junior counsel, zealous advocacy and determining and resolving conflicts.
