Deborah L. Rhode Center’s Public Comment on California’s Proposed New Rule of Professional Conduct 8.3

Nora Freeman Engstrom, co-director of the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession at Stanford Law School, writes to the Board of Trustees of State Bar of California regarding the proposed new California Rule of Professional Conduct 8.3.

L. Inst. 2000), and adopted by the vast majority of states.
