Professional Responsibility: Problems of Practice and the Profession, Eighth Edition, is known for its flexibility and adaptability to different teaching methods and student learning styles. The text is easily adaptable to a variety of teaching methods, including question and answer discussion of text and problems, role play, student presentations, guest speakers, and writing seminars. The book is structured to enable instructors to present the materials doctrinally or by area of practice. The extensive multifaceted problems provide instructors with a wide range of options for presenting the material. The authors have carefully crafted the text so that reading assignments are reasonable – typically 10-15 pages for a one-hour session and 20-25 pages for a two-hour session. The book offers three types of problems, each of which has a specific purpose in the student’s ethical education. The text and principal discussion problems are designed to help students develop the ability to make sound judgments for difficult questions of professional responsibility. Each chapter contains Rule Review questions that present multiple hypotheticals enabling students to understand the scope and limitations of important rules of professional conduct. Multiple-choice assessment questions at the end of each chapter with detailed answers help the students review major concepts in the chapter and prepare for the MPRE.


Bundle also includes PracticePerfect: Professional Responsibility, a visually engaging, interactive study aid designed to help students review core course topics and test their ability to recall and correctly apply the law. PracticePerfect contains a library of animated videos that explain course topics through hypothetical situations, quizzes to test knowledge and understanding, and progress trackers so students can identify their strengths and weaknesses in the course. Designed to work with all major casebooks, PracticePerfect is the ideal study companion for today's law students.
