Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This heavily discounted, three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version of the hardbound book is printed on 8 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book. This book is designed to support the expansion in scope of the Professional Responsibility course. While attending to the Model Rules and the disciplinary process, Cases and Materials on the Law Governing Lawyers allows treatment of a wider range of sources of the law that governs lawyer conduct than the ethics codes and a wider range of control devices than the disciplinary process. The result is a more dynamic set of materials that presents a picture of the constraints on lawyer conduct that is closer to the realities of practice. Cases and Materials on the Law Governing Lawyers presents the material in a manner similar to the presentation of the material in other mainstream law courses: the law governing lawyers is just that, law, and students seem to respect the course's place in the curriculum when the materials are presented as such. In most other courses, the law studied affects client conduct; the lawyer interacts with it as an expert, a step removed from the law's application. Not so in the Professional Responsibility course, in which the law is about the lawyer's conduct and relationships. Students find motivation for the course when they recognize this simple insight.

Book excerpt: In this, the Thirteenth edition of Stephen Gillers’ book, Regulation of Lawyers: Problems of Law and Ethics, the author’s goal, as always, is to teach the law and rules governing lawyers and judges with engaging writing and a conversational voice. To that end, he sprinkles the text with literary and historical references, references to current events, amplifying asides (“by the way” stories), and humor.

In addition to the self-study questions and answers, most chapters now contain one or two short “Pop-up Questions” with answers a few pages later. The clarity of notes on secondary issues makes it possible to assign these with little need for class discussion, freeing time for the principal lessons.

The book’s innovative pedagogy uses a combination of problems faced by fictitious law firm “Martyn and Fox,” cases, ethics opinions, notes, and tables to support its focus on teaching the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers and invite consideration of lawyer ethical dilemmas. The book’s manageable length makes it short enough to provide focus, but long enough to convey the rich texture of the subject. New to the Fifth Edition: New co-authors Profs. Ana Pottratz Acosta and Ashley M. London bring to this edition their combined years of legal practice, clinical legal education, expertise in legal analysis, and classroom pedagogy. Expanded coverage of agency law and fiduciary duties, along with new and updated cases, ethics opinions, problems, notes, and tables. 6 new court decisions, including In re Giuliani (summary disbarment) and King v. Whitmer (frivolous lawsuit sanctions). 8 new ethics opinions address contemporary issues, such as e-lawyering, client fraud on administrative agencies and courts, lawyer-directors and entity clients, immigration, and representing fiduciary clients who harm beneficiaries. 16 “Afterwords” provide students with additional information about the parties and the subsequent impact of cases.
