This 2021 Supplement reflects changes in lawyer professional standards through August 2020, including new Rule 1.8(e) adopted by the ABA House of Delegates at its annual meeting in August.

Perhaps even more important, this Supplement contains the Utah Supreme Court's much-anticipated "Regulatory Sandbox Order," which creates a system for testing and authorizing new ways to deliver legal services. In addition, the Arizona Supreme Court's new Rule permitting Alternative Business Structures that would permit non-lawyers to share ownership in law firms is also part of this 2021 Supplement.

Students, faculty, the practicing bar, and judges will find this book to be essential for examination of professional responsibility issues they confront daily and are even more likely to face in the future.
