Tips on excelling Professional Responsibility

Post by ok2bedifferent » Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:23 am

Can you please give me tips on how to do well in Prof. Responsibility? Did you do flashcards? Buy a supplement (if so, can you suggest one)? Just memorize the rules?

I haven't hit the professional responsibility class yet, but I figured I'd share some love:

Possibly the most obvious class you will take in all of law school. If it seems wrong, it is. If it seems only partially ok, its wrong. Don't co-mingle funds. Don't fuck your client (unless you were fucking them before they were a client). Don't represent adverse parties. When a conflict arises, walk away.

If you cannot break a 115 on the MPRE (with less than 5 hours of study), and a B+ in the class, you're small brained.


In all seriousness though, grab the rules, learn em, know em and roll from there. Its pretty straight forward stuff.
