Many professional responsibility professors struggle to engage students in a required course, one that students wouldn’t otherwise have chosen to take, covering material that simultaneously appears both obvious and intricately technical. Ethical Lawyering: A Guide for the Well-Intentioned addresses those concerns with a fresh look at teaching and learning Professional Responsibility. Instead of containing impenetrable cases typical of most professional responsibility casebooks, which force students and teachers to sort out convoluted facts and incomplete or out-of-date analysis, this book “flips the classroom” by providing detailed explanations of the Model Rules, accompanied by problems for class discussion that require students to explore how the Rules apply in real-world situations—a structure which lends itself easily to both in-person and online courses. The book’s explanations are focused on building statutory interpretation skills, and then bringing these skills to common practice scenarios. Discussion covers all aspects of the law governing lawyers, from professional discipline to civil liability to court sanctions, as well as informal concerns, such as client relations and the business of law practice. Professors and students will benefit from: A “flipped classroom” structure in which the book provides detailed explanations of the Model Rules, interspersed with problems for class discussion, that are both drawn from practice and illustrate some of the challenges in applying the rules in real-world situations. MPRE-style multiple-choice review questions at the end of each chapter (or after substantial portions of a chapter) addressing the material. An informal, irreverent, down to earth, and conversational style, meant to be accessible, crafted to engage students without understating the seriousness of the subject matter, and to encourage them to put themselves into the “hot seats” that the problems describe. A statutory construction approach to the Model Rules, designed to build text-interpretation skills. A comprehensive treatment of the law regulating lawyers, considering all of the practical hazards that lawyers face, and illustrating the connections between the Model Rules as a basis for professional discipline and the law of torts (fiduciary duty and malpractice), contracts (scope of the attorney-client relationship and engagement agreements), agency (authority), and procedure (sanctions), as well as informal concerns such as client relations and reputational issues. A digital edition that includes links to all necessary statutory materials. Teaching materials Include: A detailed Teacher’s Manual, including: Suggested syllabi for two-hour and three-hour courses. Detailed analyses of all of the problems, including pedagogical suggestions, to stimulate class discussion. Explanatory answers to the MPRE-style multiple-choice review questions. Suggested PowerPoints for class use. Two online-only chapters (The Government Lawyer; Judicial Ethics).

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Open Book comes with a free suite of 18 actual law school exams in Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Property and Torts, written and administered by law professors. These exams include not only questions, but: (1) annotations from the professors explaining what they were looking for; (2) model answers written by the professors themselves; and (3) actual student answers, with professor comments that explain why certain answers were stronger of weaker.

Download or read book 500 Mpre Practice Questions for 2021 written by Drury Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These 500 sample questions have the same format and style as the questions on the current Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE). The multiple-choice format also provides a useful way to test students' knowledge of each provision or clause in each of the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, as well as the ABA official Comments (which the MPRE tests along with the Model Rules themselves). Questions also cover recent ABA Formal Ethics Opinions and sections of the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers that are most relevant for upcoming MPRE exams. No other MPRE practice book currently on the market has as many sample questions, or as broad coverage, as this book. The practice questions are also extremely useful in mastering the material covered in every Professional Responsibility/Legal Ethics course, which is a required course at every American law school. The arrangement of topics in this book follows the order of how heavily the MPRE tests each Rule. An Index helps students find the sections devoted to individual Model Rules in case their Professional Responsibility course arranges topics in a different order. NOTE: THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN EXPLANATIONS. Most questions have a citation or reference immediately beneath the question to the specific Model Rule provision, Comment, Restatement section, or case that will explain the question and the correct answer. Professor Stevenson's YouTube channel has corresponding video lectures about each rule. Customers wanting a book with complete explanations for every question should get the author's Glannon Guide for Professional Responsibility.
