American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, created by the American Bar Association (ABA), is a set of professional standards to prescribe legal ethics and professional responsibility for lawyers in the United States. The rules are Model Rules and are not themselves binding; however, as of 2007, 47 states have adopted the rules in whole or in part. New York uses the old Model Code, while California and Maine have developed their own set of rules.[1]
The legal profession in the United States is essentially a self-regulating and self policing organization.
