Lawyers' Professional Liability in Colorado: Preventing Legal Malpractice and Disciplinary Actions, focuses on issues relevant to every practicing lawyer in Colorado: professionalism, ethics, the client-lawyer relationship, professional liability insurance, the grievance process and attorney discipline, defenses, technology and the practice of law, fees, debt collections, trends in legal malpractice, and numerous special topics unique to particular practice areas, as well as many other issues.
This 2014 soft-cover edition has been completely reorganized and divided into six parts for ease of use: Part 1, Professional Responsibilities to Clients and the Courts; Part 2, Law Practice Management; Part 3, Professional Responsibility in Litigation; Part 4, Professional Responsibility in Substantive Practice Areas; Part 5, Litigation of Professional Liability and Ethics Claims; and Part 6, Trends. All chapters have been renumbered and updated as needed to reflect case, statutory, and regulatory developments in the past year, including the new civil union and marijuana laws in Colorado. This year, we also added a new topic: Chapter 27, “Settlement and Mediation.”
