The American Bar Association (ABA) has prohibited me from reproducing
the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and the Model Code of
Professional Responsibility on this website. Although I can see no
copyright issue barring me from doing so, the ABA did grant me permission to link to its website,
which already reproduces those rules. So, if you go to the frames page,
you must link to the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct site to
compare the Texas Disciplinary Rules with the Model Rules. I find
the ABA's position appalling, given that the MPRE is based in large part
on the Model Rules, and that it has apparently allowed others permission
to reprint the Model Rules. I have written an article on this subject,
The Ethics of Copyrighting Ethics Rules, 36
U. Toledo L. Rev. 235 (2005). The
article is also available online at http://utlaw.edu/lawreview/ariens.pdf Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct Comments to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct Texas Disciplinary Rules and Comments in Frames Comparison via Frames of Texas and Model Rules Texas Cases and Opinions (under construction) Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure Texas Legal Ethics Opinions (You will be directed to another website) Texas Code of Judicial Conduct
