Model Rules

Model Rules are a set of ethical guidelines that lawyers follow to ensure they act honestly, responsibly, and in their clients' best interests. They cover important behaviors like confidentiality, avoiding conflicts of interest, and how to handle legal responsibilities properly. These rules help maintain trust in the legal profession, ensure consistent standards across different lawyers, and promote fair treatment for all parties involved in legal matters. Essentially, they serve as a professional code of conduct that guides lawyers in practicing law ethically and with integrity.
