Description: Ethics choice-of-law analysis has received significant attention these past few years. In March 2023, the ABA issued a formal opinion on Model Rule 8.5(b); the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct Review Committee reexamined D.C.’s version of the rule, including several proposed changes, and the Committee’s proposal is pending before the D.C. Court of Appeals; and the Supreme Court of Maryland has addressed its version of the rule in a few recent opinions. D.C., Maryland, and Virginia each have different rules, rendering a choice-of-law analysis particularly thorny for DMV-based attorneys who represent clients throughout the DMV.
This timely class discusses the recent clarifications of – and changes to – the choice-of-law rules, and the implications of those rules in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia for DC-licensed attorneys. The following are among the specific topics this class covers:
D.C. Rule of Prof’l Conduct 8.5(b), including its choice-of-law analysis, and the similarities and differences with ABA Model Rule 8.5(b)
Proposed changes (and rejected proposals) to D.C. Rule 8.5(b)
A comparison of D.C.’s rule with those in Maryland and Virginia
What does “predominant effect” mean? (ABA Formal Op. 504, Maryland case law, and D.C.’s rule)
Hypotheticals
Best practices for D.C.-licensed practitioners
This class is a must for all attorneys who have multijurisdictional practice.
