Perhaps the most influential announcement on the topic of LPO made by the ABA following the 08-451 Formal Opinion publication in August 2008, the Commission recently proposed minor changes to existing ethical guidance.
The ABA 20/20 Commission recommends modifications to the commentary of the Model Rules 1.1, 5.3 and 5.5.
Basically, this is what we expected, but it does provide some additional clarity about the Commission’s outlook going forward.
These proposed amendments are to be debated over the next 6 to 8 months with a possible final presentation to the ABA House of Delegates during the annual meetings in August 2011.
More details on the announcement are available here
