ABA adopts new ethics code shaping lawyer duties
The American Bar Association’s House of Delegates approved the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, replacing the 1969 code. The new rules allow disclosure of client secrets only if imminent death or serious bodily harm is involved, restrict revealing illegal client plans, and urge states to adopt the model code. Critics warn it weakens attorney client privilege and may prompt conflicts with public interest. The vote coincided with pushes on FTC pricing scrutiny and civil rights stance, with delegates from California Florida and New York opposing parts of the package.
