"Duties of Candor": Ethical Obligations Governing Lawyers' Communications with Tribunals And Third Parties

FERC’s recent proposed expansion of its “Duty of Candor” rule has raised the larger issue of lawyers’ ethical obligations of candor in their communications with courts, government agencies, third parties, and beyond. This panel will explore those obligations, focusing on the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, state codes of professional conduct, and legal ethics opinions. The panel will also explore consequences for noncompliance and will conclude with a discussion of practical tips and best practices for ethical compliance.
