The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics. Federal, state and local courts in all jurisdictions look to the Rules for guidance in solving lawyer malpractice cases, disciplinary actions, disqualification issues, sanctions questions and much more. In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.

Excerpt from Practice in Special Proceedings in the Courts of Record of the State of New York, Vol. 1 of 2: Under the Code and Consolidated Laws, With Forms The first edition contained 745 pages, the second edition pages. The present edition, by condensation of authorities and omission of precedents in cases where printed forms can be readily obtained, as in summary proceedings and supplementary proceedings, and by reason of the largely increased size of the page, has with difficulty been kept within the limit of pages. It will be noted that in the consolidation many of the proceedings have been transferred from the Code to the Statutes. In such cases tabular statements are made indicating the former Code section and the statute and section where now found. The cyclopedic arrange ment will be found to facilitate the work of investigation in that each of the unconnected topics will be found in its alphabetical order. To this an exception is made in treating Special Proceedings Gren erally which is introductory in its nature and therefore precedes the specific topics ranged under that general title. Acknowledgment is due and very cheerfully tendered to Hon. Ledyard P. Hale, counsel to the Public Service Commission, Second District, for most valuable advice and assistance in connection with precedents in use by that Commission, and to Louis M. Martin and Wilber W. Chambers, who have, as Deputy attorneys-general, been in charge of that department, for selection and revision of precedents in proceedings for Voluntary Dissolution of Corporations.
