Product Description
Many law professors aim to probe deep ethical issues in class. But they need to cover the material that the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination requires. The Rotunda Nutshell fulfils that need as it digests the Model Rules in an engaging, analytical, and often critical way. In a surprisingly pithy manner, this book places the Rules in an historic context that lets the student understand problems with prior versions of the Rules and the Model Code. The Nutshell also analyzes the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers, Third. This approach frees up precious class time for important normative issues. And, this Nutshell helps your students come up with better answers to your Socratic questions than you anticipated.

 best approach to confusing topic July 11, 2007

I've looked at a few PR study guides, but they all are organized rather amorphously, so, for instance, my CB goes topically. I find it easier to organize my thoughts and outline when arranged by rule--which is what this book does.
It takes the Model Rules and addresses each, and the larger topic it addresses, separately. It selectively incorporates the Restatements and Model Code, telling you when one varies from another. It is by far the clearest synopsis of "soft" rules that I have found--far better, in fact, than the same author's "Professional Responsibility" for the "Black Letter Series," which approaches by topic.

As a former disciplinary counsel in NY, I found this book to be right on in many respects, and glossing over in others. For the most part, a good beginning for the practitioner in sorting out the hoary and complicated issues that crop in various ethical situations.
