The California Rules of Professional Conduct and the California Business and Professional Code apply to all attorneys practicing in the State of California. Litigators must comply with the same ethics rules, professional standards of care and professional obligations as any other attorney. Still, the application of those rules, standards and obligations for litigators differs greatly from every other practice.
Litigation is by its very nature adversarial: if pursued to conclusion, it produces a winner and a loser. If successful, the finality of the result operates to end a dispute. And with that finality, clients and courts hold litigators directly responsible for actions taken in connection with both the process and the result.
