Louisiana Legal Ethics: Standards and Commentary 2015

By Dane S. Ciolino

The most vexing ethics questions for lawyers aren't the ones that come up on law school exams. Practicing lawyers have more practical questions, such as: (1) Old files. Can I finally shred them? (2) What magic words do I need to make my arbitration clause enforceable? (3) How can I use social media to enhance my reputation rather than to ruin it? (4) What are the 10 ways to avoid the miserable white envelope bearing the return address: "Office of Disciplinary Counsel"? (5) What are the 8 keys to an ethically-compliant law firm website? Louisiana Legal Ethics: Standards & Commentary (2015), is an up-to-date compendium of Louisiana legal ethics standards. It includes the full text of the Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, annotations addressing the history and adoption of each rule, ABA comments, and important Louisiana case law. Finally, it includes materials on disciplinary sanctions, selected "professionalism" materials, and answers to frequently asked legal ethics questions. Dane S. Ciolino edits and annotates this book. He serves as the Alvin R. Christovich Distinguished Professor of Law at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he teaches legal ethics.
