Description

In 1997, the American Bar Association convened “The Commission on Evaluation of the Rules of Professional Conduct,” better known as the “Ethics 2000 Commission.” This Commission issued recommendations, which were then debated and adopted in various forms by the ABA House of Delegates. In April 2002, the Maryland Court of Appeals appointed a Committee to examine the Ethics 2000 changes to the ABA Model Rules and recommend which changes, if any, would be appropriate for the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct. This Report contains this Committee’s proposed changes.
