Practice manual comprehensively describing New York’s lawyer regulatory scheme by organizing and analyzing the relevant statutes and procedural rules, including explanation of how the rules affect disciplinary practice.
New York Attorney Discipline Practice and Procedure comprehensively describes New York’s lawyer regulatory scheme by organizing and analyzing the relevant statutes and procedural rules, and explaining how the rules vary among the four judicial departments in New York State. While the statutes and rules are a starting point, understanding their practical application, and reviewing the judicial decisions interpreting them, is essential to effective advocacy.
This book aims to make the regulatory scheme accessible and understandable to anyone involved with attorney discipline in New York, including: lawyers who receive complaints; respondent’s counsel; law firm’s general counsel and ethics counsel; disciplinary prosecutors and staff; appointed members of disciplinary committees; hearing officers; courts and court personnel; law school professors teaching professional responsibility; and members of the public who may have filed, or are considering filing, a complaint against a lawyer.
