Professional Responsibility

Problems of Practice and the Profession

By: Nathan M. Crystal

Known for helping students develop the ability to make sound judgments and to develop a philosophy of lawyering, the concise Professional Responsibility: Problems of Practice and the Profession, Seventh Edition, is adaptable to a host of teaching styles. Scores of realistic problems call on students to develop a cogent philosophy of lawyering as they master basic concepts and prepare for the MPRE. Modular, flexible organization allows professors to adapt the material to a variety of courses and clinical programs. In particular, the book is structured to enable instructors to present the materials doctrinally or by area of practice. New to the Seventh Edition: New author Grace Giesel (Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law) has joined the book. Throughout the book the authors have inserted Rule Reviews. A Rule Review is a set of questions designed to walk the students through the important facets of the Model Rule of Professional Conduct at issue. The Rule Reviews are designed to ensure the students review and thus capture the parameters of the reviewed rules. The authors provide answers to the questions at the back of the book, so the students can self-assess their learning. The Rule Reviews are in addition to the Chapter Assessment Questions that follow each chapter. The authors have revised this edition to present the textual material with more headings and thus in smaller blocks of narrative. This change is intended to assist students in sorting and organizing the material as they learn and to assist instructors in directing the class discussion. The book has been updated to include: All recent changes to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, including the ABA’s substantial revision of the advertising rules. Relevant recent ABA Formal Opinions. The book has been revised to include recent developments such as: The legal industry’s renewed focus on sexual harassment and discrimination, in part a result of the #MeToo movement (Ch. 8). Alternate litigation funding (Ch. 2). Advance Waivers (Ch. 4). The effect of the presence of third parties on the attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine (Ch. 3). Recent developments regarding ineffective assistance of counsel (Ch. 2). Recent developments regarding technology (Ch. 3). The authors have attempted to make the book as relevant to the students of 2020 as possible. To that end, they include problems and material that are up-to-date and, in some cases, “ripped from the headlines,” such as: Material about the involvement of David Boies in the Theranos debacle. An excerpt of Michael Cohen’s statement to the court before sentencing. Problem 3-5 now deals with the threat and response of a law firm to cyberattack. Professors and students will benefit from: Realistic problems that develop students’ ability to make sound judgments. Emphasis on guiding students to articulate a cogent philosophy of lawyering. Innovative, flexible organization suited to a variety of courses and clinical programs. Organized by major doctrinal concepts, such as confidentiality and conflicts of interest. Offers alternative organization by area of practice. Modular organization for professor choice. Manageable length. Multiple choice assessment questions and answers located at the end of each chapter to prepare students for the MPRE.

Cases and Materials

By: Charles L. Knapp,Nathan M. Crystal,Harry G. Prince,Danielle K. Hart,Joshua M. Silverstein

Problems in Contract Law: Cases and Materials, by Charles L. Knapp, Nathan M. Crystal, Harry G. Prince, Danielle K. Hart, and Joshua M. Silverstein, includes cases with notes and explanatory text, additional commentary, essay, and short-answer problems, and multiple-choice review questions for each chapter. The cases selected are a balance of traditional and contemporary that reflect the development and complexity of contract law. Explanatory notes and text place the classic and newer decisions in their larger legal context. Questions and problems provide opportunities to practice core legal skills and encourage students to explore the relationship between theory and practice. This successful book is well known for approaching contract law and theory from multiple perspectives and using a variety of contractual settings. Adaptable for instructors with different pedagogical philosophies, Problems in Contract Law can easily be used in teaching by traditional case analysis, through problem-based instruction, or using theoretical inquiry. The purchase of this ebook edition does not entitle you to receive access to the Connected eBook with Study Center on CasebookConnect. You will need to purchase a new print book to get access to the full experience, including: lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities; practice questions from your favorite study aids; an outline tool and other helpful resources. New to the 10th Edition: Five new principal cases that reflect advances in or improved statements of contract law. One restored principal case (Oppenheimer & Co. v. Oppenheim, Appel, Dixon & Co.) that provides valuable perspectives on a fundamental area of contract law. Twelve new problems, including several shorter problems, to provide more review options for teachers and students and to add contemporary fact patterns. Eight new tables and flow charts to assist students with the conceptual structure of complicated legal subjects. Editing of note and text material to reduce length without affecting coverage and to capture new legal developments. Reorganization of text and comment material to focus comments primarily on historical developments, allowing professors greater flexibility in assigning or deleting comments. Student accessibility to deleted cases from prior editions through Casebook Connect, allowing professors the further flexibility of continuing to easily assign cases for which they have a particular preference. Professors and students will benefit from: The authors’ emphasis on making the material accessible for both students taking and professors teaching the course - rejecting a hide-the-ball approach. The continued appeal to professors with various teaching methodologies: traditional, problem-oriented, theoretical, and practical. The comprehensive nature of the contents allows professors the flexibility to teach their students the basics or conduct a more in-depth analysis of a given topic. The continued mixture of classic and contemporary cases. Review questions at the end of each chapter that are primarily designed for students to perform self-assessments of their grasp of the material. Answers with explanations are included in an appendix within the book.
