Legal Ethics in a Nutshell

by Ronald D. Rotunda &  Michael I. Krauss
West has announced the publication of the First Edition of Legal Ethics in a Nutshell by Ronald D. Rotunda, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law, George Mason University School of Law, and Michael I. Krauss, Professor of Law, George Mason University School of Law. Legal Ethics in a Nutshell will be available in late May.
WHY THE ROTUNDA AND KRAUSS NUTSHELL?

Many law professors aim to probe deep ethical issues in class. But of course there is always the need to cover the material required for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. The Rotunda and Krauss Nutshell digests the Model Rules in an engaging and often critical fashion. It is an ideal complement to a casebook that explores deeper theoretical issues.

WHY A NEW ETHICS NUTSHELL NOW?

The answer is simple - Ethics 2000! For only the third time, the American Bar Association has adopted a major revised version of its ethics rules. This casebook incorporates all the changes made to the old Model Rules, in an historic context that lets the student understand problems with prior versions of the Rules and the Model Code. The authors also discuss and analyze the role of the American Law Institute's new Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, Third. This approach frees up precious class time for important normative issues. If your students use the new Rotunda and Krauss Nutshell, they will come up with better answers to your "Socratic questions" than you anticipated. West (along with Ron Rotunda and Michael Krauss, of course!) urges you to urge your students to use this new ethics Nutshell.
