Description

Professional Responsibility in Litigation 3rd Edition Douglas R Richmond ISBN 9781641058612

Addressing the many complex professional responsibility challenges that arise in litigation, this comprehensive compendium examines ethical issues at every stage of a lawsuit—from inception through appeal. The authors take a broad view of “professional responsibility,” encompassing not only legal ethics, but also related concerns involving sanctions and professional liability.

This completely revised edition adds new chapters on conflicts of interest and accidental and impromptu clients, and expands its treatment of social media ethics with a dedicated chapter addressing this rapidly evolving area. All other chapters have been substantially updated and, where appropriate, streamlined for ease of use, while continuing to provide extensive citations to authoritative sources to support further research.

Each chapter explores a discrete aspect of litigation in depth, allowing readers to fully understand the applicable principles and rules without the need to cross-reference multiple sections. Topics covered include:

  • Conflicts of interest

  • Pre-suit investigations and frivolous claims

  • Surreptitious investigations and discovery practices

  • Compensation of fact witnesses

  • Ex parte communications

  • Civility and candor

  • False testimony by clients and witnesses

  • Lawyers as witnesses

  • Negotiation and settlement ethics

  • Social media

  • Accidental and impromptu clients

  • Ethics on appeal

  • And more

This volume is an essential resource for litigators seeking clear, practical guidance on navigating ethical responsibilities throughout the life of a case.
