Video lecture for my Professional Responsibility course (and MPRE prep) about ABA Model Rule 6.4 (Law Reform Activities Affecting Client Interests)
*PREQUEL TO THIS VIDEO (watch before it): Model Rule 6.3 [ Ссылка ]
*SEQUEL TO THIS VIDEO (watch next): Rule 6.5 [ Ссылка ]
Rule 6.4 is in the "Public Service" group of rules in the MRPC, but the topic overlaps with conflicts of interest, so we cover it in my course near the end of the unit on conflicts. Model Rule 6.4 provides:
"A lawyer may serve as a director, officer or member of an organization involved in reform of the law or its administration notwithstanding that the reform may affect the interests of a client of the lawyer. When the lawyer knows that the interests of a client may be materially benefitted by a decision in which the lawyer participates, the lawyer shall disclose that fact but need not identify the client."
I have the comments turned off on my channel due to scammers posting marketing ads and trolls posting other inappropriate content. But if you found the video helpful and want to let me know, email me - dstevenson @ stcl.edu
