In Connecting Ethics and Practice: A Lawyer’s Guide to Professional Responsibility, Second Edition, Katerina Lewinbuk explains the legal, professional, and ethical constraints that regulate attorneys, while keeping the modern law professor and student in mind. Contemporary cases and articles are used to provide for an easier understanding of the Model Rules and Judicial Cannons, which assists in preparing for law school exams and the MPRE. The author employs a user-friendly coursebook format organized in a logical manner, while achieving a realistic and manageable length. Mind-maps are provided with every chapter to help students visualize and remember selected rules, and discussion questions are used to allow the students to fully comprehend and digest the reading, while also demonstrating real-life struggles most lawyers face at some point in their career.
