American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, created by the American Bar Association (ABA), is a set of professional standards to guarantee the minimum legal ethics and professional responsibility of lawyers in the United States. As of 2007, 47 of the 50 US states have ethical rules which follow the format of the Model Rules-- New York uses the old Model Code, while California and Maine have developed their own set of rules.[1]
