Latest Newsletter by AALS Section on Professional Responsibility

A few weeks ago, the AALS section sent out an abridged fall newsletter with time-sensitive information, including meetings at the upcoming AALS annual conference in NYC, January 3-7, 2008.  The fuller version of the newsletter has just been distributed, and is downloadable by this link: aals_pr_fall_2007_newsletter.pdf.  The main addition in this version:  useful summaries of states' actions on ethics rules, recent scholarship and cases on legal ethics, member news, links to updated ethics info, and more conference announcements for the early part of 2008.  For example, the newsletter has a nice tally of which states are reviewing their rules in light of Ethics 2000, and when their adoptions go into effect.  Once again we emphatically thank all the section people involved in this important survey, including Randy Lee, Russ Pearce, Roy Simon, and Fred Zacharias, for allowing us to post it here.  [Alan Childress]
