Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we're discussing ABA's Model Rule of Professional Conduct 3.3, which governs truth telling to the tribunal (a court, arbitrator, administrative agency, or any other body acting in an adjudicative capacity). We break down all of the rule's nuances and parts, and analyze a few hypothetical scenarios.
In this episode we discuss:
- An overview of ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct
- The elements of Rule 3.3 "Candor Toward the Tribunal"
- A few hypothetical scenarios that show how this topic appears on an exam
