The Complexities Of Lawyer Ethics Code Drafting: The Contributions Of Professor Fred Zacharias, Nancy J. Moore

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, I address three aspects of the special and evolving nature of lawyer ethics codes in order to acknowledge the important contributions of Professor Zacharias. As I hope to show, Professor Zacharias’s publications present a far more complex and nuanced view of the task of drafting lawyer ethics codes than either the Commission or I had contemplated. Although there was not much time then to further address these more theoretical concerns, I am confident that we would have benefitted enormously from a deeper exploration of his scholarship in this area.
