Course Description
By Order dated August 23,
2004, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania adopted extensive revisions
to the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct, which govern attorney
conduct. These revisions flow from the most recent revisions to the
American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
Pennsylvania's revised Rules of
Professional Conduct take effect on January 1, 2005. We will discuss significant
revisions and some of the instances where the Pennsylvania Rules differ
substantially from the American Bar Association's Model Rules. In
addition, we will discuss revised Rules 5.5 and 8.5, which already are in effect
in Pennsylvania and address the
multi-jurisdictional practice of law. Finally, we will discuss Rule 1.18,
which is under consideration (but not yet been adopted) and governs duties to
prospective clients.
