Writing in his direct and lively style, Stephen Gillers explores the subtleties and nuances of the legal and ethical rules governing lawyers and judges. From great teaching cases, timely materials, and realistic problems, students come away with new insight, equipped to detect and avoid improper conduct over the course of their professional careers.

Refined through years of classroom use, this casebook offers:

  • Comprehensive coverage covers the full range of professional responsibility issues in less space (about 20 percent shorter than the 9th edition).
  • Well-balanced mix of cases, secondary sources, timely materials (often drawn from recent headlines), engaging problems, and challenging notes.
  • Goes beyond the rules in recognizing that the law is not necessarily self-evident and covers many subtleties; Gillers discusses the rules from different perspectives. Students are thus better equipped to detect and avoid improper conduct in their professional life than if they had learned the rules alone.
  • Excellent case selection. Relevant cases exemplify multiple variations on particular themes.
  • Realistic, helpful problems. Abundant problems, many based on actual events, that facilitate class discussion and enable students to understand the rules and regulations that will govern their professional behavior.
  • Detailed notes provide in-depth treatment of the issues.
  • High-profile author. Stephen Gillers is a highly visible and recognized national authority on professional responsibility.
  • Accessible and engaging style. The writing is characterized by variety, clarity, and humor.
  • Accompanied by an outstanding annual statutory supplement. Co-authored by Roy D. Simon, Andrew M. Perlman, and John Steele, the popular Regulation of Lawyers: Statutes and Standards covers all major, minor, and state variations on the rules governing lawyers and judges.

About the authors
Stephen Gillers
Elihu Root Professor of Law
New York University of Law

Stephen Gillers has been a professor of law at New York University School of Law since 1978 and Vice Dean from 1999-2004. He holds the Elihu Root chair. He does most of his research and writing on the regulation of the legal profession. His courses include Regulation of Lawyers, Evidence, and Law and Literature (with University Professor Catharine Stimpson, former dean of the graduate school). Professor Gillers has written widely on legal and judicial ethics in law reviews and in the legal and popular press. He has taught legal ethics as a visitor at other law schools and has spoken on lawyer regulatory issues at hundreds of events in the U.S. and abroad - often for legal ethics CLE credit - including at federal and state judicial conferences, law firms, corporate general counsel#39;s offices, government law offices, ABA meetings, state and city bar meetings nationwide, in oral and written submissions to Congress, and in law school lectureships. For many years, four or five times each year, he has lectured on legal ethics at the New York City Bar Association CLEs. Professor Gillers is the author of Regulation of Lawyers: Problems of Law and Ethics, a widely used law school casebook first published by Little, Brown (now Aspen) in 1985 with a 10th edition forthcoming in 2014. With Roy Simon (and Andrew Perlman as of 2008 and John Steele as of 2015), he has edited Regulation of Lawyers: Statutes and Standards, published annually by Little, Brown, then Aspen, since 1989. He is also the author of Regulation of the Legal Profession (Aspen 2009)(the quot;Essentialsquot; series). From 2000-2002, Professor Gillers was a member of the ABA#39;s Multijurisdictional Practice Commission which proposed rule changes (all of them accepted) to recognize the cross-border nature of legal practice. In 2009, Professor Gillers was selected to be a member of the ABA 2020 Commission, 2010-2013, which studied the effects of technology and globalization on the regulation of lawyers leading to amendments to the Model Rules. He was chair of the Policy Implementation Committee of the ABA#39;s Center for Professional Responsibility (2004-2008) and was a member from 2002-2010. He was a member of the International Issues Committee of the ABA Section on Legal Education (2008-2009). In 2011, he received the Michael Franck Award from the ABArsquo;s Center for Professional Responsibility. The Award is given annually for ldquo;significant contributions to the work of the organized barhellip;noteworthy scholarly contributions made in academic settings, [and] creative judicial or legislative initiatives undertaken to advance the professionalism of lawyershellip;are also given consideration.
