NY Issues New Professional Responsibility Rules
On April 1, 2009, the Rules of Professional Conduct went into effect and replaced the current New York Lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility as the governing rules of professional responsibility for attorneys in New York State. The rules generally end New York's status as a professional responsibility renegade as they comport with the ABA Model Rules that serve as the template for professional responsibility in 47 other states. New York lawyers can now draw on a very large body of decisions and commentary from other states as they encounter ethical quandaries in their practice. Most practitioners also feel that the rules are much more clearly organized than the Code, making it easier for attorneys to seek guidance.
In the short term, however, lawyers will have to meet the challenge of familiarizing themselves with the rules, and with how they influence resolution of professional responsibility dilemmas in their practice.
