Previously entitled The Ethical Oregon Lawyer, this revised and updated volume acknowledges that ethics is a piece of the puzzle for every legal practice and every case you handle. No matter what your practice area, you need to follow the disciplinary rules—for yourself and for your clients. But you often have questions about how to do that.
Legal Ethics in Oregon is the best resource to help you fill in all the pieces of the puzzle and to answers these ethics questions and more, including: how are attorney fees governed; what constitutes competent representation; what limitations do lawyers face when advertising their services; what rights does an accused lawyer have in a disciplinary hearing; how do the Oregon RPCs affect a lawyer’s duty of confidentiality; in which circumstances may a lawyer ethically withdraw from a case, and many more… This edition also features a new chapter addressing rules of professional conduct for licensed paralegals.
