Some Web-Sites for Professional Responsibility
(Last Updated December 13, 2007)
There are many sites that are of particular value in finding Professional Responsibility materials on the Web. These are just a few places to start:

• The Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School maintains an American Legal Ethics Library, with links to texts of PR rules (including disciplinary procedure rules) for all states,  as well as databases of ethics opinions from particular states. A special feature of the site is narrative descriptions of the law of lawyering in individual states, interlinked with the primary materials and other sites: 19 states are now covered, including many of the largest, and they hope over time to cover all states
• Legal Ethics Forum is a weblog with postings by professors and other ethics experts on current topics and cases involving legal ethics and professional responsibility, with links to a variety of on-line resources (including other weblogs) on ethics issues.
• The American Bar Association's Center for Professional Responsibility provides links to all the various efforts of the ABA in the care and feeding of professional responsibility standards in the U.S. It also includes a list of some of the most important “blawgs” on legal ethics.
  
  
• The Missouri Supreme Court’s Rules site includes Rule 4 (http://www.courts.mo.gov/page.asp?id=707 ), the Model Code of Professional Responsibility as modified, to which we will be referring from time to time, and Rule 5 (http://www.courts.mo.gov/page.asp?id=708 ), on attorney disciplinary procedure
• Professor David Hrcik of Mercer U. Law School maintains a blog called legalethics.com focusing on the use of technology in the practice of law, with a variety of links and posts.
