  The Glannon Guide is your proven partner throughout the semester when you need a supplement to (or substitute for) classroom lecture. Here’s why you need to use Glannon Guides to help you better understand what is being taught in the classroom:

  • It mirrors the classroom experience by teaching through explanation, interspersed with hypotheticals to illustrate application.
  • Both correct and incorrect answers are explained; you learn why a solution does or does not work. 
    • Glannon Guides provide straightforward explanations of complex legal concepts, often in a humorous style that makes material stick.

  The Glannon Guide to Professional Responsibility is a clear, concise textbook on the important topic of professional responsibility in legal practice. Using the tried-and-true Glannon Guide format of topical explanation followed by multiple-choice questions and explanations of the answers, the book allows students not only to learn and review course content, but also to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). Chapters are arranged in order of how heavily the MPRE tests each subject to help students prioritize their review. Professor Stevenson, a tenured law professor at South Texas College of Law and a leading instructor in this field, has used his extensive experience teaching this course to develop a series of questions specifically designed to prepare students for the MPRE, and to provide thorough coverage of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. This study aid can be used with any casebook or course on professional responsibility.
  
  Following the format of the Glannon Guide series, this book features multiple-choice questions integrated into a full-fledged review of the Professional Responsibility course. Clear explanations of correct and incorrect answers help to clarify nuances in the law. The multiple-choice questions are sophisticated and neither too difficult nor too simple, with valuable exam-taking pointers interspersed within the substantive text. A more challenging final question at the end of each chapter (the “Closer”) illustrates a sophisticated problem in the area under discussion.
  
  New to the 2nd Edition:

  • A new chapter on the Code of Judicial Conduct, focusing on the rules tested most frequently on the MPRE
  • Most chapters have been expanded with more sample questions
  • Updated chapter introductions, questions, and explanations reflect new Supreme Court decisions in the field, as well as recent changes to the ABA Model Rules and related ABA Formal Ethics Opinions

  Professors and students will benefit from:

  • Concise introductions giving an overview of each subject, including discussion of how the MPRE tests the topic
  • Comparison to and contrast from related rules and provisions throughout the Model Rules or the common law
  • Practice questions highlighting important exceptions to each rule
  • Thorough coverage of the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct, including the official Comments and clarifying ABA ethics opinions
