Synopsis

This book teaches students to exercise judgment regarding problems lawyers face. It shows students how to identify all the elements of a situation and how to think about the ways those elements might interact over time. It covers the ABA Model Rules (and California deviations) thoroughly, as well as relevant aspects of agency, contract, tort, and criminal law. Concepts such as doubling down and the “ethics ostrich” help students understand nondoctrinal forces (including reputation, competition, framing, and loss aversion) that can cause serious trouble. Separate chapters cover issues relevant to government lawyers and business lawyers, as well as judicial ethics.
