Synopsis

NJ Attorney Ethics - Annotated

By Kevin H. Michels & Kathryn Hockenjos

The first definitive treatise in an ever-expanding area, New Jersey Attorney Ethics: The Law of New Jersey Lawyering collects, organizes and analyzes the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct, court rules, decisions of the New Jersey Supreme Court, the Superior Court, and District of New Jersey, opinions of the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, the Advertising and Unauthorized Practice Committees, and statutory authority governing attorney conduct in New Jersey. A dog-eared copy of this treatise should be on every New Jersey attorney's desk. The treatise has been cited in opinions of the New Jersey Supreme Court, the Appellate Division, the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics and the Disciplinary Review Board.

New Jersey attorneys are governed by some of the strictest and most complex ethical principles in the nation. The New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct varied significantly from those proposed by the ABA when they were first adopted by the New Jersey Supreme Court in 1984. In 2004, the Court substantially revised those rules even further. This volume provides a comprehensive, systematic analysis of the maze of New Jersey authorities that regulate an attorney's conduct, including the literally thousands of opinions interpreting and applying the current and predecessor rules. For example, the treatise, which is over 1,000 pages in length, contains extensive discussions of:

The N.J. Supreme Court's authority over the profession
The limits of court authority and the roles of the other government branches
Organization of a law practice, including entity selection, firm names and letterhead
Advertising, marketing and solicitation
The legal fee agreement, including retainers and contingent fees
Fee sharing
Fee collection, including attorney liens, and fee arbitration
Attorney trust accounting
Duties in representing a client, both in the transactional and litigation settings
Conflicts of interest, including imputed disqualification, screening, conflicts relating to concurrent clients, former clients, public representations, family relationships, the attorney's own interests, and business transactions with a client.
Client waivers of conflicts
Client confidentiality
Disclosure of client information to the courts and adversaries
Ex parte communication
Detailed analysis of New Jersey's attorney discipline system, both procedurally and substantively
Immunity and confidentiality in the disciplinary system
The quantum of discipline imposed in various types of disciplinary matters
The unauthorized practice of law
Liability based on RPC violations
