Center for Professional Responsibility Share: DISSENTING ON A Joined in as to screening by: Commissioner Susan Martyn
The Ethics 2000 Commission has labored long and hard in redrafting the Model Rules for consideration by the ABA House of Delegates. Served ably by a splendid staff and two erudite, patient and careful Reporters, we bring to the floor of the ABAs most representative assembly a work-product of which the Commission can be justifiably proud. Rules have been strengthened, language has been recrafted to improve understanding, and difficult new issues have been addressed.
But in the view of this Commissioner the final draft is not good enough. We can do better. Not only that, we must do better.
