  3. PUBLICATION NOTES

    1. American Bar Foundation, Annotated Code of Professional Respoa-sibibty. Chicago, Illmois: American Bar Foundation, 1979, Pp. xxii, 478. Available in cloth cover or as paperback. Index and tables.

    The Code of Professional Responsibility, which governs the behavior of attorneys as attorneys, was adopted by the Amencan Bar Association on August 12, 1969, aith an effective date of J a n u q 1, 1970. This book is a collection of explanatoQ- notes and interpretive Comments concerning the vanous provisions of the Code, including citations to court decisions, opinions of the ABA ethics committee, law review articles, and other authorities. The work is, in effect, a treatise on American legal ethics today.

    The Code of Professional Respanability replaced the Canons of Profes-sional Ethics, a set ai thirty-two mle~fwst adopted by the American BarAssociation in 1908. By the mid-l920's, if not earlier, it was recognized

    19801 PUBLICATION NOTES

    by many that the old Canons did not deal adequately with the problems faced by attorneys in dealing with, and within, the many new business and governmental structures which were coming into being. Several efforts at reform were launched, but none succeeded until the 1960's.

    The Code is organized in nine numbered canons, which are short, broad statements. Canon 1, "A Lawyer Should Assist in Maintaining the Integrity and competence of the Legal Profession," is typical. Each canon is supplemented by numbered "ethical considerations," in paragraph form, and from time to time by numbered "disciplinary rules."

    The book follows the organization of the Code, with each canon presented in a separate chapter. The text of the canons, ethical considerations, and discipiinary rules is set forth in bold face type at the beginning of each chapter. The provisions are then broken up and repeated for separate discussion. Discussion of each provision 1s set forth in a comment, followed by textual and histoncal nates, and by lists of related provisions.

    For the convenience of the user, the book offers a table of contents, a preface, a discussion of sources for the material in the book, a note concerning the legislative history of the Code, and a note about footnotes used in the book. Two Code documents are presented in this introductoq section, the preface to the 1969 fnal draft...
