The Superior Court judges recently met for their annual approval of Practice Book changes, including those dealing with the Code of Professional Responsibility. If you read the last sentence and did not remark that the Code of Professional Responsibility was replaced by the Rules of Professional Conduct in 1985, maybe you ought to take a remedial course in ethics.
Every year, there are changes, some small, some important, in the lawyer ethics regime and the rules concerning the management of law practices. Many never take another course in legal ethics after leaving law school. If you were admitted before 1986 and learned the old Code instead of the new Rules, you might be well-served by taking a refresher. While the principles are the same, some of the practices are different.
