: Legal Ethics ForumErnest Lidge, "Client Interests and a Lawyer's Duty to Expedite Litigation: Does Model Rule 3.2 Impose Any Independent Obligations?"
Article here. Abstract:
Rule 3.2 of the American
Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct ("Model Rules")
requires lawyers to "make reasonable efforts to expedite litigation
consistent with the interests of the client," while other rules impose complementary
obligations. How far does this duty to expedite litigation extend? Is the
client's interest an absolute defense to the charge of failing to expedite
litigation, or are there some client interests that do not justify a lawyer's
use of delaying tactics?
