Abstract

This term, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear ten cases on the role of attorneys and the practice of law. In doing so, the Court is departing from its normal practice of hearing two, or at most three, cases on professional responsibility. Prof. Renee Knake of Michigan State University College of Law reviews the professional responsibility cases on the Court's docket and examines how they could influence the practice of law.
