Several newly posted SSRN articles caught my eye. This one is an informal book chapter by Professor
Stephen Pepper, the author of numerous classic articles on legal ethics. According to the abstract, it "provides an introduction to
practical ethics for working executives and professionals." It includes an informal summary of important practical problems, such as ethical fading.
The second article, authored by Maya Steinitz, offers a comprehensive discussion of the increasingly hot topic of third party litigation financing. This issue is one of many being considered by the ABA's 20/20 Commission.
Finally, Doug Richmond offers this article, entitled "Professional Responsibilities of Co-Counsel: Joint Venturers or
Scorpions in a Bottle?" The article examines a variety of ethics issues that arise in the context of co-counsel relationships.
