Information on the composition, jurisdiction and procedures of the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility is included to explain how ABA ethics rules are formulated and interpreted. The 2026 Edition includes newly released ethics opinions.This one volume includes:ABA Model Rules of Professional ConductABA Model Code of Professional ResponsibilityABA Model Code of Judicial ConductABA Canons of Professional EthicsABA Standards for Imposing Lawyer SanctionsABA Model Rules Related to Multijurisdictional PracticeABA Model Rules for Client Protection (Selected)ABA Professionalism Codes and CreedsABA Practice Guidelines, Federal Rules and Standards (Selected)ABA Formal Ethics Opinions (Selected) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
