OFF THE PRESS

One of the most comprehensive books on U.S. lawyer ethics, the 2016 edition of the "Compendium of Professional Responsibility Rules and Standards," is now available through the American Bar Association.

Produced by the ABA Center for Professional Responsibility, the book is both a reference guide for lawyers and provides a roadmap for seasoned and young lawyers alike to identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations. The updated edition will also help lawyers keep abreast of changes to the rules of professional conduct, and includes the most recent ethics opinions issued by the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility.

The compendium also contains a selection of federal rules and standards commonly needed in the general practice of law, and in practice before federal agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service.

"Compendium of Professional Responsibility Rules and Standards" costs $47.95 and can be ordered online at shopaba.org/professionalresponsibility or by calling 800-285-2221.
