- Legal Ethics in a Nutshell. 2018Description: Many law professors aim to probe deep ethical issues in class. But they also 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, which led to the present version. 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. This book has proved so popular as an explanation of the basic principles of legal ethics that it has been translated into Japanese and used there to teach American legal ethics.

The Acing book also enables students to quickly recall and pass the MPRE. The materials are current through the Model Rules changes in 2016.

Lexis Digital Library - Selected Professional Responsibility Titles
- Mastering Professional Responsibility. 2016This second edition of Mastering Professional Responsibility presents a concise explanation of the rules and concepts of lawyer professional responsibility. In creating the book, the author's goal is to provide students in the typical law school professional responsibility course with a source that explains the relevant rules and concepts in a way understandable to novices to the legal profession. In furtherance of that goal, the book provides a straightforward treatment of the subject, with special attention to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and all recent amendments to those rules through the date of publication. For each topic, the book briefly addresses any relevant rationales, but primarily focuses on explaining the parameters of the applicable standards in a clear, understandable, step-by-step manner. A typical treatment of a topic includes not only a clear explanation of each standard, often broken into manageable concepts, but also a simple example illustrating the application of that standard. These easy-to-understand examples are designed to facilitate learning in students who, in contrast to practicing lawyers, have not yet had the opportunity to develop an understanding of the context of law practice. This book is an excellent accompaniment to the typical professional responsibility course. The book is also a good preparatory tool for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam, which is a requirement for admission for most states.
- Questions & Answers: Professional Responsibility. 2018This all-new fourth edition of Professor Longan's popular study guide is the perfect companion for your professional responsibility course.

It includes 208 questions, both multiple choice and short answer, along with complete explanations of the right and wrong answers. The book is a hands-on tool for testing your knowledge. Use it to review and to assess your understanding of what you are learning in class and to prepare for exams. Compare your answers and reasoning with Professor Longan's explanations of what your Professional Responsibility professor will expect from you.
The book will also be a big help in your preparation for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam. Its organization and content mirrors what you can expect on the MPRE, and the format of the book's multiple choice questions tracks the format of what you will see on the bar. Use this valuable preparation tool to make sure that you pass the MPRE the first time!
