Professional Responsibility: Examples & Explanations, is structured around concepts, so it doesn't feel like a march through the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The introductory discussion breaks the substantive analysis into manageable steps. The examples and explanations tackle issues that gradually become more intricate and challenging. Most are drawn from actual cases, so they represent the types of problems that students are likely to encounter in practice.
