While new in subject matter, this project is essentially a traditional Restatement, clarifying and synthesizing the common law applicable to the legal profession. Although some of its aspects have been broadly covered by the Restatements of Contracts, Torts, and particularly Agency, this Restatement re-examines and develops application of the principles reflected in these traditional topics in the special context of lawyering. The Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers contains Chapters on Regulation of the Legal Profession; The Client-Lawyer Relationship; Client and Lawyer: The Financial and Property Relationship; Lawyer Civil Liability; Confidential Client Information; Representing Clients- In General; Representing Clients in Litigation; and Conflict of Interest. Each volume is updated annually by a cumulative pocket part.
