Description
The Paralegal's Guide to Professional Responsibility 6th Edition Arthur H Garwin ISBN 9781639054282
Professional responsibility is fundamental to the effective delivery of legal services, and paralegals play a critical role in upholding ethical standards. Because paralegals are required to follow the same ethical rules that govern their lawyer employers, staying informed is essential. To support this responsibility, the ABA Center for Professional Responsibility has updated The Paralegal’s Guide to Professional Responsibility.
Now in its sixth edition, this guide examines the ethics issues most relevant to paralegals, legal assistants, secretaries, and other employees of law firms, corporations, and law-related organizations. It offers practical, adaptable guidance suitable for practice in any jurisdiction and incorporates all recent changes to the Model Rules, along with updated references to court decisions and additional resources.
Key topics include:
-
What constitutes the unauthorized practice of law
-
Tasks lawyers may not delegate to paralegals
-
Competence and diligence in paralegal work
-
Confidentiality obligations
-
Conflicts of interest
-
Client funds and property
-
Advertising and legal fees
-
Employee compensation
-
Developing effective ethics research skills
Beyond its in-depth analysis of the Model Rules as they apply to paralegals, the guide introduces foundational texts and materials used in legal ethics research. It also features:
-
Clear explanations of professional responsibility law
-
Tools for identifying and resolving ethical issues
-
Practical, real-world tips for daily practice
-
A framework for organizing legal ethics materials
-
Time-saving features and helpful appendices
Together, these elements make the guide an indispensable resource for paralegals committed to ethical excellence.
