Model Rule 2.1 Explained: The Lawyer’s Role as Advisor & Moral Guidance

This lecture by Professor Dru Stevenson analyzes ABA Model Rule of Professional Conduct 2.1, which defines the lawyer's duty to provide candid advice to clients. Unlike rules focused strictly on technical legal advocacy, Rule 2.1 explicitly permits (and encourages) lawyers to refer not only to law but to other considerations such as moral, economic, social, and political factors that may be relevant to the client's situation. Professor Stevenson explores the boundary between being a "hired gun" and a "wise counselor," discussing the professional judgment required to provide holistic advice. This video is essential for students in Professional Responsibility or those preparing for the MPRE, as it addresses a frequently overlooked aspect of the attorney-client relationship. The analysis includes the distinction between mandatory and permissive counseling and how Rule 2.1 interacts with Rule 1.2 (Scope of Representation). #ModelRule21 #LegalEthics #LawyerAsAdvisor #ProfessionalResponsibility #MPREPrep GET THE TEXT OF RULE 2.1 here - https://www.americanbar.org/groups/pr...
